I am working on Panther at work and I find that it handles the files much different (obviously) than in classic. When I run classic on certain programs, there is a big memory issue with the programs. I suspect that it has to do with the way OS X deals with memory allocation of the programs. I prefer to use OS 9.2 because I like the freedom of allocating the memory that I want to any given program. OS X doesn't allow this, it automatically ups the memory as you go along. I don't like this because as in Larry's problem, there is no way to get around the fact that he has a big file. It just won't open.
I do agree with Bruce about PS 7 though, there are a lot of nice features in there, and on top of it, it runs nicely in OS 9. matty.
