[net.micro.mac] LaserWriter 3.1 bombs with Excel chart.

Like the subject line says.  The LaserWriter file was from a dealer and had
been used for quite some time with no problems.  Excel had no problems printing
worksheets.  Reverting to 3.1b9 fixed the problem!  Any comments?

Although probably this was not Larry's problem, it is -IMPORTANT- to note that
the various Laserwriter Files are NOT!!! compatible.  That is>if you are using
a particular version of LaserWriter you can NOT start using another version
without rebooting the LaserWriter and loading in the new LaserWriter File.  Yes
it is documented but is hidden more than necessary.

In short you can not have different people working with different versions of   the LaserWriter Files compatibly.  Good Luck.
