Finale Macintosh 2002 has several changes which affect plugins. 
I reckon the few Enigma items have been well discussed on PDK 
Chat but for a few strictly Mac-related items:

1. Changes in regards to how much of the Appearance Manager APIs 
affected plugins.
2. More limitations affecting which keys plugins could detect and use.
3. Changes in the dialog handler(s) which plugins are obliged to use.

The fastest way to solve these kinds of problems for Macintosh 
plugins is to install MacsBug and send a log file to all the PI 
developers whose products you use. 90% of the time, the naughty 
function can be determined in these kinds of reports.


Get MacsBug here:

ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Testing_-_Debugging/Debuggers_-_dcmds/
MacsBug_6.6.3.sit.hqx


Once intalled, if you have a crash type:

"stdlog;es" <Return>

(without the quotes) into the MacsBug command-line area and then 
send the file on.
