Not that Newton Press was that well behaved before...

This is the same situation that I have experienced using NP 1.1 and Mac
OS 9.1 (and more recently 9.2.1). If someone who knew what they were
doing (read: not me) installed MacsBug and started getting down and dirty
in the machine code, they may be able to at least figure out what makes
NP so unhappy in these newer operating systems. Perhaps it may be
possible to patch NP into thinking it's healthy again.

Or I could be barking up the wrong tree.

I just make sure I save a lot when building Newton books.
