Hi, Bob--
Yah. After Amapi 5 wouldn't work (in spite of my camping on tech
support's nose) I skipped Amapi 6, but Amapi 7 behaves just like v5--
two Amapis and two Macs later and a switch from OS 9 to OSX.
Now that there's Hexagon I'll quit trying to run it -and chewing my
nails wondering what awful thing I'm doing that kills it ;-).
