I dunno about you folks, but as for me, I've noticed quite a few things that had the habit under 6.0.5 to occationally give me the "The application WHATEVER quit unexpectedly." stop doing that under sys7. For example, RedRyder 10.3 (I kno, I know, I shoulda upgraded to White Knight... but White Knight came out the same time my ex-roomie-who-owned -the-modem got married and moved out with his modem... and I got used to going to an on-campus site... now I got my own modem but the upgrade offer's expired and old Red 10.3 still works, mostly, so heck). I suspect in this case it was the system heap (I tried heap fixer under 6.0.5 but had problems getting it to work.) Anyway, the "heap problem" is apparently fixed because compatibility checker sez it's now unneccessary... so maybe that's why Red's back to no bombs... Just about everything that worked under 6.0.5 that doesn't work with 7.0 I've found so far have been mainly silly games that didn't follow the rules or INITs & CDEVs that *couldn't* follow the rules, in order to be able to do what they do...

If I appear to be flaming, either (a) it's an illusion due to the lack of nonverbal cues or (b) my sprinkler system has suffered a momentary glitch, so just ignore me until it's fixed.
