[fa.info-mac] Imagewriter 15 breaking system

Has anyone out there compiled a list of software that becomes broken
when you install the new Imagewriter15 system?  I recently downloaded
DAM 1.4 and found that I couldn't run it with the new system.  Also,
DA's like Diskinfo & Extras are also broken.

Diskinfo opens a window filled with garbage when you tell it to "show files",
while Extras bombs & open invisible windows.

Maybe if you get a list of all the software that becomes broken with
Imagewriter15 installed we can find a fix.  Imagewriter15 is certainly 
nicer than the old version, but it isn't worth too much if it starts to
bomb with alot of useful software.

I have found that most of the Desk Accesories that fail when Imagewriter
15 is installed, will work fine if the Desk Accessories are installed
FIRST and then install Imagewriter 15.  I currently use SLEEP, DISKINFO,
DELETE FILE,  MOCKWRITE and MOCKPRINT with Imagewrite 15 and no problems.
