  Based on using a lot of stuff for over a year with various versions of 7,
not all that many applications break if you leave off 32-bit quickdraw and 
virtual memory.

  If the compatibility checker stack says it isn't compatible, believe it.
If it says it doesn't know, then give it a try.  I'll bet you get a lot more
of the latter than the former.
