Having written what I did about MacOS Lion, I now see this, which confirms my worst fears...
When to pull the plug on old software http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14437653 I'm still running Snow Leopard, and I shall be for the foreseeable future, because I rely on Rosetta-supported software: old copies of Excel, Word etc. Rosetta is discontinued with Lion. So too I suspect is 32-bit Java, in which case J602 JWD won't work. Can anyone confirm or deny that, please?
