Hi Mark

I did the download to my Mac running MacOS 9.2.2 - I can't go further 
back than this, so if you really want <=9.1 I may not have proved 
your case. But anyway yes, it all appeared (and worked) as expected: 
I simply downloaded the .sit file, expanded it, opened the folder and 
voila! there were the icons. I had no trouble opening the app or 
using it (in a very superficial way so far, I have to admit), or 
indeed double-clicking on one of its documents and starting it that 
way (which shows AFAIUI that the desktop database is doing its stuff).

Thanks for all your help and reassurance on this subject, and thanks 
to all others who replied to my query. Nearly all my own Classic 
users will be installing for the first time, so I won't have to take 
any special measures for rebuilding the desktop.

Graham
