Wrong. While it's true that 6.0.7 may be even buggier than 6.0.5 (not a flame, Apple...) you, as a programmer, should understand the benifits and pitfalls of using newer system software. While it may not be *required* (or even recommended by Apple) for your SE/30, there are plusses to upgrading. Check out the Technical Change history doc from Apple, which describes the changes made in 6.0.7. Features include: - tons of changes to the Script Manager - all new Sound Manager (it will no longer munge FPU registers at interrupt time! yay!) - minor changes to List Manager, Monitors, International Utilities, MultiFinder, etc. -phil -- Phil Shapiro Technical Support Analyst Language Products Group Symantec Corporation Internet: phils@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu
