A friend forwarded to me a couple of posts from this group talking about Trapeze and whether the latest version will support System 7 or not. I was one of the original authors of Trapeze, although I haven't worked on it since 1987. However, I called up the other authors (who are still in Fort Worth, Texas, and were also the authors of DeltaGraph and large parts of Aldus Persuasion 1.0), and the word from them is that the latest release runs fine under System 7 as long as you don't use 32-bit addressing; it was built with a version of the Think C libraries that weren't 32-bit clean. There are also apparently some formatting problems on the newest Macs (Classic, IIsi, LC) due to a change in Apple's SANE number formatting routines. This is emphatically *not* the official word from DeltaPoint, though. I will probably call them next week and see what's up. Bob Murphy bobert@autodesk.com bobert@well.sf.ca.us P.S. I wrote all the numerics in Trapeze, so if you like the gudermannian function or dislike the way it handles amortizations... Anyway, although it didn't pay as well, working on Trapeze was much more interesting than what I do now (Mac AutoCAD).
