In other words, if you write a program that works on an Apple II or Macintosh that exists today and Apple comes out with a new machine (or even new system software) that your program refuses to run with, you're outta luck. It doesn't help you in your situation, though...(unless you have one of those gizmos for your Amiga that lets you run Mac stuff...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Alfter _/_ / v \ Apple II: Internet: alfter@uns-helios.nevada.edu ( ( the power to be your best!
