Just got through making my operating environment clean again after 6.0.2 upgrade, and installing MPW3.0b1 and Silver Server. All very good things. Observed: 1) Macromaker, as someone noted, has coexistance problems. They are serious with MPW 3.01b -- zapped menubar after C compiles, interference w/C compiler. Jettisoned MacroMaker, everything great. (yes, tested with it as only INIT, it does do it all by itself.) 2) FadeToBlack also doesn't quite get along with MPW, looks funny when it's running (switching font size, finally crashes). Jettisoned. 3) AutoIdle, Larry Rosenstein's venerable screensaver, works fine, and has the added feature of showing you the front program's icon. Only troulbe noted is that it has to load after Silver Server, or get a crash on bootup. So renamed it to ZAutoIdle. MPW3 is simply wonderful. Projector, better compiler, much added, and runs great in background, as right now, with supplied 6.1a2 Multifinder having great layer setaside feature. Can see SADE will be handy. Ditto SilverServer. Just using the disk partition now, but whole package looks quite smooth. No disclaimers necessary. Clive Steward
