I was running 6.0.5 on my IIci with no trouble at all; as soon as I "upgraded" (if that would be the right term) all *sorts* of problems appeared. Most notable: When using Apple File Exchange, selecting *any* translator other than the "text translation" bombs the system. The file is converted with no problem; Immediately after converting, the system bombs with a bus error. When using GIFFER to save a GIF file as a PICT, the system will give a bus error intermittently. Ditto copying a large PICT file from the clipboard to DeskDraw or DeskPaint. Other programs give minor problems.....nothing really major. Think twice...... Dave _________________________________________________________________________ Dave Hightower | opinion?
