Like most MPW people, I found a rather rude and shocking
dialog waiting for me with System 7: sorry, you have
to upgrade if you want to run MPW. SOB!
Then I started thinking. I need the latest version. I
need version 3.2. I don't have the right... version.
Hmm... version. As in vers-ion. Where's my copy of
ResEdit? Where's that vers resource?
So now it's running, though I don't know if I should
be running it or not, as in, am I going to lose anything?
I'd hate for my thesis on a platform free GUI to say
disappear. What? Oh, yeah, backups. Right.
The only problem I've had so far is that Build, command-B,
doesn't work. File O/I OS error, so I just have to type in:
BuildProgram <program-name>
Anything else evil lurking out there? Is this a good idea?

Incredible! Everyone else I know found the major problem the hard way - that you can't save any changes to your text files. If you are managing to save your files, then some incredibly weird interaction is taking place... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.

Guess that's what I get for using another editor. Whew... sorta. Is that it, though? It won't matter, I guess, here in a few weeks.

There are good reasons that the system goes through the trouble of warning you. You may experience problems with FileShare, VM and many other things.
