The powerbook is a new one and runs OSX but he as the classic environment as
well.

When you double click on the app icon it wont run. He is not in  yet so I'll
check the fine details with him.

This is quite an expensive app so it is probably secured in some way. My app
(statview) is a cut down version and cost about $450 so his app is, no doubt,
protected.

I just thought of something.

Could he run it from the powerbook in classic mode via appletalk. I remember
years ago running apps on my powerbook that was on another machines HD?

Is this possible from classic to OS9.2?

More later
