Well, after a lot of rumors about what will and will not run under 6.0, I
can say that the only thing I've had problems with are any of the Silicon
Beach games -- it looks like an INIT is stored in high memory, or something
similar.  However, I've stored all of my cdevs and INITs outside of the
System Folder, and it still won't work.  Ah, well, I was getting bored with
BDC anyway...  Oh, and hierDA (the cdev which places sub-menus on the DA
menu) 0.9962 screws things up under MultiFinder with the new release.

As to other stuff, Versaterm (Rev. 3.2), MS Word (3.02), HyperCard, PT-109
FullWrite, PictureBase, ResEdit et. al. seem to work fine.  Tested them out
without any INITs or cdevs to interfere, and they work fine under Finder and
MultiFinder (something happened with PictureBase under MultiFinder, but that
may be me...).

The only rumor I'd like to have confirmed/denied is MS Works 1.1.  I've
heard from several people that Works, under MultiFinder, shows garbage
characters on the menu -- at least in the Database section -- with 6.0.  Can
anyone check this out?  I don't have Works...
