  I downloaded Quid Pro Quo version 2.1 which is a freeware.
It says that I must have Open Transport 1.3 to run the software.
It comes with MacOS 8.  Unfortunately in India we are way
behind and OS 8 is not available.  Not even 7.6.  The problem
is that there are only a few macs in India.  Well, some wrong
policy decision has led to this and Apple has no market what
so ever here.  Even the softwares are way overpriced.

I went to Apple Software site and found the listing of 1996
downloading options for OT 1.1.2.  That's the current one!
Will it work with QPQ 2.1?  Can you tell me from where I
can download OT 1.3 ?
