Hi Scott, The only version of Toast that I've used (very limited) was Toast 7, which was the first version to appear as a universal binary. My impression from from scattered reports on the list by Gordon Smith and others is that Toast 8 and 9 have both become less accessible. Is there anybody who can comment in more detail?
