Any older version when run would alter the prefs file for 2.0b2. Also, give it more memory. In the meantime, stay with this one, delete the prefs file, don't run 1.3d1 anymore, increase the memory in the GetInfo via finder. 1.3d1 is different from 1.2 (the last official release) in only someone threw in a cheap menu editor. 1.2 is more stable in this area for me. Shell out the bucks? WRONG! Soon this will be on GEnie, America Online, hopefully the new FTP site from Apple, CompuServe, and friends. I got mine from a Bulletin Board that downloaded it from AppleLink (I believe for free!). The only thing worth money will be the ResEdit book due Feb 1991 from Apple. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <>William Perez <> Internet: perez@andromeda.rutgers.edu <> <>RPO 0043 POBox 5063 <> America Online: WilliWonka <> <>New Brunswick, NJ 08903 <> <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
