Well, I've had it crash on me.  I have a 1 Meg mac (running a clean system
with no INITs) and I've been trying to print out a document that was created
on a larger Mac.  The "1 Meg limit" option was set and I had no notification
that my 20 page document (with a couple of PICTs) exceeded the limit.

When I did manage to get it to print, FullWrite complained about lack of
memory and warned that some pictures may not print correctly.  Many of them
did not!

By the way, I DO have the released version.  All in all I'm very pleased
with it, but I have experienced 1 Meg problems.
