Add one more frustrated LSC user to the list!

My solution? Stick with LSC v2.0 and ignore the Mac II market! (I'm also
looking at "computer illiterate users".) I'm hoping the THINK will fix
the problem before the Mac II market (for my products) becomes big
enough to worry about. (Actually, most of my stuff runs on the Mac II,
you just have to be careful with low-level file io calls.)

LSC v3.x had better NOT have this problem!!!!!
