After all the problems of _Launch crashing on Pluses, IIci's, and
occationally on IIcx's, I understand why few people write Macintosh
software.

To insure compatibility with all Macs, I need one of every type of Mac
and every version of System software Apple has ever produced.  What
happened to the great Macintosh ideal of compatibility across machines. 
I follow all the guidelines when I write my software, but all that
insures me is that it'll hopefully run on MY OWN machine when System x+1
is released.

To all those people who crashed their Macs running _Launch: I guarantee
that it'll run on a Mac IIx w/ 2meg, and no useful INITs.  That's my
setup.
