[Ham-Mac] Classic Mode Crash w/Sys 10.1.5

Wed, 11 Sep 2002 06:03:04 -0400

Bruce,
Classic is not OS  9.  I see a lot of memory problems with multiple programs
running in Classic mode.  This could be deadly for your database!  There are
also some file locking problems that were cleared up in Jaguar which may be
part of your problem.
