Rev won't start in Mac OS 10.3.9

[Bill]

The only necessary extensions (and run no others as sometimes one extension
looks for another -- also check start-up items folder and keep that empty as
well as control panels except chooser).

Apple Enet
Carbon Lib
Classic Rave
File Sharing Library
InputSprocket Classic
LaserWriter 8
Network Setup Extension
Open Tronsport ALSM Modules
OpenGLEngine
OpenGLLibrary
OpenGLMemory
OpenGlRenderer
OpenGLRenderereTA
OpenGLUtility
Folder Printer Descriptions
Folder printer plug-ins
Printing Lib
Print Monitor
PrintToPDF (3rd party)
PrintToPDF Link Maker (3rd party)
Shared Library Manager
Shared Library Manager PPC

If you don't print or use Appletalk then you won't need any of these
extensions. Also do not use Tiger as it breaks too many things in classic.
Even Tiger 10.4.1 which I also tested. If you already installed Tiger it is
impossible to "uninstall" unless you have a backup you can use "Carbon Copy
Cloner" to re-install from. The real solution is to re-write all your
Classic stuff in RunRev and not bother with Classic as I'm sure each new OSX
update will subtly break something else. Also keep a back-up copy of the
above extensions as OSX will corrupt them and then you will need to copy
over the back-up (this happens to me constantly).
