I was really looking forward to trying it out but I really couldn't. It bombed reliably on startup if I loaded with suitcase II 1.2.3 running. (usually ID 28, 10, or 1). If I disabled Suitcase (and maybe some other inits, I forget which) I could usually run it, but only could load a doc if I double clicked on the doc. If I tried to use their OPEN menu Item, their custom OPEN box would only get partially drawn (a couple of buttons, and a scroll bar, but no file list etc.) and my only choice would be to cancel. Interestingly (and reproducabley) any attempt to rerun Preditor, after trying to use the OPEN menu option (ie, load preditor, try option (fails as above), cancel, quit, then rerun Preditor by double clicking on a doc) leads to a bomb (ID 01, or 10). Well, The program has lots of features I'm dying for, so if this can be resolved Id love some help.
