- Message-ID: <1992Sep8.164752.4784@bernina.ethz.ch>

- Since I still have trouble with the copy protection scheme 4D chose
- (insert floppy each and every day, floppy fails because of adverse conditions,
- 4D is on every backup, virus protection software balks at modified
- programs, customer very unhappy because he can't start the machine
- when the floppy fails) I'd like to switch to a US 4D copy. As
- far as I know these are not copy protected.
- BUT will it run under an international (specifically Swiss) System 7?
- Since my customer doesn't know enough English the system software has
- to be localized.
- And will I have to rewrite the code when porting?
-
- Thanks in advance
