A friend is running 6.0.3 on a MacII. He's having problems with Suitcase and Macintalk which we're inclined to blame on the new system, since they both worked previously. Suitcase (v1.0) loads DAs/fonts fine on start-up, but when you bring up its dialog box both the Open File and Close File buttons are disabled (grayed out). Kinda defeats the purpose. Macintalk is more interesting: Anytime a program (e.g., The Moose, MPW's say script) tries to access macintalk the machine crashes and burns. Anyone had similar experiences? Do we think it's the new system? Thanks in advance. -- unsigned *Wayne_Mesard(); MESARD@BBN.COM BBN, Cambridge, MA

Suitcase 1.0 is obsolete. This was fixed in 1.2, released in Jan. 1988, but that's obsolete too. The current product is Suitcase II.

Do we think it's the new system? I have been having problems with Macintalk under 6.0.3, but of a rather different nature. It does work sometimes, and does not generally bomb See comp.sys.mac.programmer for details
