Make sure you have MacsBug 5.5, at least. Earlier versions had trouble working
on the Mac II (5.4 can in 5 flavors, I think, 4 of which were for Mac IIs of
varying sizes). (MacsBug is currently version 6.0) Also, make sure that the
file is not damaged, that the file is really MacsBug and not the old AutoBlack
screen saver, and that the filename is exactly 'MacsBug' (case not significant).

P.S. Watch your line length in the future - I had to edit this to read (and
respond) to it.
