- Now, I could be wrong, but from reading the original posting, I think the
- point he was making is that a program that does not seem to work on a IIci
- with 32-bit addressing on DOES work on a IIfx with 32-bit addressing turned
- on. That would indicate that the problem isn't 32-bit compatibility.
