The tech note on 32-Bit cleanliness was released in October of 1989.
It is not even slightly defensible that a major commercial product is
not 32-bit clean by now.
 
32-bit cleanliness is NOT a 7.0 issue. QuickMail doesn't run under
A/UX for this reason either, something that has caused a co-worker of
mine no end of consternation.
 
Vendors should not be forced to support unreleased system software.
They should, however, have the wherewithall to follow widely
publicized (and authoritative) guidelines and recommendations.
