Add this temporary line (or similar):

    put defaultFolder into field "copyright notice"

Use some field that is wide and whose contents won't mess up anything.


Did the xp and w2k test work ok if the app is double clicked?


I get the impression you don't have ready access to '98, but can test 
on XP, 2000, OS X and Mac 9.

I use Virtual PC on both OS X and Windows.  Uh.  I mean I have it on 
both, but I use it most on Windows.  This might be handy if you are 
short operating systems and platforms.  Startup CDs work fine.  I had 
an MSDN Universal subscription but let it expire.  To get all OS's, you 
can get by with a lesser subscription.  Since you are not installing in 
these tests, you might be able to borrow an old notebook computer from 
somebody.

It might be that somebody on this list is interested in the process of 
making multiplatform CDs, has '98, and is motivated to run some tests.  
It might happen.


My kids and I finished a Christmas CD late the 24th.  We didn't take 
time to test on '98, so it probably has problems.  I know to check next 
time.  I was surprised that the Mac OS version of an app did not need 
to be bin'd.  I didn't even take time to figure out why.
