I'd like to help! Not that it matters, I'll have an FPU before long...

Well, just so you know that LC's have some problems when trying to be
compatible with other Macs' Color Quickdraw. You have to call an extra
function everytime you setup a color grafport. It took me a whole year
to find this "bug", and most applications on the market overcome this
somehow. They probably make the call anyway. It's just recommended, I
guess. I don't know if any current kernels have this call in them.

I never noticed. Sorry. You sound just like the rest of us.

Me neither. I can't get anything to install. I don't want to even mess
with BSD until I get that FPU chip. Then, I'll only have 4M RAM, so if I
do anything, it will take a week to compile. :)
