    It does that without any help.  In my experience, 40 to 60% of all
macintosh crashes can be avoided by removing After Dark.

    This is not true.
    The iBCS suite at tsx-11.mit.edu will allow you to run the SCO Unix
version of WordPerfect, and several other programs besides.

If something like that happens again, use "executor -nobrowser" to
fire up Executor, and then use HFS_XFer to save a copy of
"System:System Folder:godata.sav".  If you can then get a copy of that
file to us, we might be able to figure out what our problem is.  You
can then delete that file and you won't have to put in your battle
chess cd just to get the browser to go.

I'm not "Mr. Memory Manager", so I can't comment.  Charles Sandmann is
Mr. Memory Manager and he's away until the 14th or so.  We'll (read
Mat and he) will look into it then.
