If you don't have MacsBug installed, get a copy.  It can be extremely useful.
Contact the Apple Programmers & Developer's Association (APDA).  It only
costs $20/yr to join, you can buy other neat stuff, etc.  APDA can be reached
(within the US) at 1-800-282-2732.

Well, almost -- 6.2a4 works, but the beta shipped with Sys 7.0a1 doesn't.
(I could be wrong aabout the 7.0 bit, but some of the early betas definitely
 don't work.)
