Hm, but only provided you it doesn't crash on you on launch under systems
later than OS 8.5/6... Chances are 9:1 for a crash in my case, and MacGS
crashes can be pretty devastating, in my excperience, including HD driver
corruption etc. I had crashes even on completely virgin systems.
A couple of weeks ago, MacGS's porter acknowledged having reports of
problems and told me about plans to rewrite the port entirely. No timeframe
though.
