- To answer my own question ... The hang during the splash screen was
- due to the two Tempo II Plus INITs (a macro package). Fortunately,
- this was this first set of INITs I deactivated. Without Tempo II, I
- got past the splash screen, but then FM Pro hung when I tried to open
- an existing FM II file. Fortunately, the culprit here turned out to
- be Swatch INIT (a heap monitor) that I only use occasionally. With
- both Tempo II and Swatch deactivated, FM Pro seems to run fine.
