    Well, the only thing I can think of is that perhaps those two programs call
the BASIC ROM for some reason.  I don't see why they would need to, but you
never know, considering that they were written long before GEOS 128 became 
available.  That is the only thing I can think of, and the use of the 64 ROM is
the only *DOCUMENTED* incompatibility.
