I tried Carpet Bag on my system and also had some problems.  It works
fine with AppleWorks 2.1 and AppleWorks GS, but AppleWorks 2.0 hangs
while loading.  Both of my 2.n versions of AppleWorks are modified by
the TimeOut programs QuickSpell, FileMaster, and UltraMacros.  Carpet
Bag also had a problem when attempting to load DAs while running a
TML Pascal program.  The idea is great, and the program is nice when
it works, but it does have several bugs in its current incarnation.
