That's wrong? What you described is true, those apps are Classic. But Carbon Apps can run with Classic or native. There is supposed to be a way to make them run in Classic but I don't recall how off hand. Apparently you switched AppleWorks to run in Classic. Try doing a Get Info on the application and see if there is an option to use Classic vs Native. I tried it but found nothing. > > Yikes, I'll have to try this again, as a consciously done experiment > (i.e., shut down Classic) and see what happens to my AppleWorks, plus try > to open it with Classic off. I could swear I remembered it (and Claris > Emailer) quitting out on me when I stopped Classic that time. > The way to tell is what kind of "Apple" you have on the left side of the menu bar. The old multi-colored Apple means you are running Classic. The blue Apple means you are running Native. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
