- What is FWB? I have an SE20 at home with two hard drives. MacTools 2 had no
- problem analyzing them both. At work I use a IIci with 80 meg disk, on
- which 30 megs are set aside for SoftAT. No problem there either.

- All CP MT utils. launched easily on both machines with NF 2.0 installed.

-
- Both machines are with sys 7.0 and tuneup (older version than 1.1.1).
-
- The only point I'm trying to make is how the same software sometimes can
- behave differently on different machines. Don't know why but perhaps inits,
- CDevs and so on are partly involved.
