Now that I know you have Compurserve access, I won't mail files to you,
I'll just point to them on Compuserve :=).

I tried it on a Mac II w/ 5mb, running the latest system with MultiFinder (and
various other things) and it worked fine.  One possiblity is you are running
out of memory.  If you are trying it under Finder, try launching a small
application (non-multifinder) such as binhex 4.0 and try it there.
Otherwise more details on how it crash (bomb, flicker screen/noise, etc.)
would help.
