[comp.sys.mac.system] More Compatibility news

I installed S7 two days ago. I found the following problems.

1. I know that HandsOff II 2.1.3 is incompatible. The CC said so. I left
it in anyway, and got a neat bug which the S7 Answerline figured out. When
I loaded and ran Word 4.0b, then switched to the Finder, I had NO memory
to do anything. I should have had about 2 of my 5 meg left, but the System
reported "Not enough mem.." even when I wanted to display the "About the
Macintosh..." Connectix says that a new HandsOffII, V2.20 will be available
~June 26th.

2. The TelePort 1.06d11 init is giving me fits, can't use with S7. Global
Village says that the release version will be available on June 1. Until
then, I'm booting on a S6 floppy to use my modem.

3. I spoke to Central Point techreps and they said that Rescue, Optimizer
and ESPECIALLY Mirror won't work with S7. Mirror apparently can cause
HARDWARE DAMAGE to the HDA. A new release will be available in 1-2 months
and will cost $$ to upgrade, but is supposed to be a new major release
version. I guess Norton heat is getting through.

I turned off the color on the windows because too many changes were making
my head spin. :)
