- Crash Barrier is a pretty good program. It tries to trap errors and correct
- them if it can. Doesn't always work, but it is pretty good. Well worth the
- money in my opinion. It isn't the first program do this though. MacBugs
- traps errors and can give some insite as to why they occured, albiet only for
- the more techincal users. It can't really recover well from them though.
- Crash Barrier has been getting pretty good reviews all around (and deservedly
- so) even from magazines whose speciality is not Macs. There are recent
- articles availlable about it and I could tell anyone who is interested where
- to find them.

-
- Those are basically Apple's versions of DDE (and maybe OLE, I'm not sure) How
- they work specifically, I don't know because I'm not as familiar with System 7
- as I'd like to be, and also don't use those features very often.
