- Greetings,

- > Concerning your Problem. It has been noted in a recent
- >issue of "MACUSER" or "MACWORLD" that is ROM's in LCII's and
- >Clasic II's and all machines after have been altered (from the

-
- Please be aware that the ROMs were not maliciously altered such that other
- system levels would not work, it's just that each new machine requires code
- support. This was not an attempt to force people to use System 7, nor is it
- the first time that it has happened (try running an FX on an old system for
- example...). I have heard that a special version of system 6.0.8 called 6.0.8P
- (for Performa) may be available.

-
- Try launching WordFinder with the option key down. That will cause it to
- launch into the application heap and it should behave as it did before. Note
- that this does not work for all Desk Accessories, but it does work for most of
- them.
-
- Personally, I like System 7, but I do a LOT of networking and network
- administration and the advanced network features are very valuable to me.
