[comp.sys.mac] re. Nettrek crashes on Mac II

When I first got Nettrek on my II it worked fine.  Then it stopped working.
I try booting off a clean system and then an old system that I may have been
running then.  Still didn't work.  I have no idea what could do this.  On        a 
nother note, I saw Nettrek 2.0 in MacGarden in San Rafael, they said they didn'tknow how they got it and they thought it was Shareware but wouldn't let me copy
it.  I opened it and from a minutes trial it had these new features:
     A menu under the Starbase software icon.
     The choice of self destructing your bases.
     A computer ship!
I don't know if it runs on a II or over modem as I read somewhere.  If anyone knows more please speak up!

About Nettrek 2.0: i have seen it, and have the following info:
a)It does NOT run on a Mac II. At least not mine, it uncerimoniously
exits to finder, or brings up a bus error (id=2).
b)It cannot run over a modem connection-if Appletalk is not installed
and (oops, sorry, LOCALtalk :-)) selected from the chooser, when the
program is run, a dialog pops up saying, Spock: There is no Appletalk
installed. Please check-  ...or something like that.  The computer ship
is nice to have, though..and the little (@#*(*@# can kick my a** at
least 50% of the time!  If you DO have an Appletalk net and two or three
people to play with, it can be REALLY addicting.  Fun too, of course!
