Error Type 8?  According to my "Desperately Seeking Solutions" this is a 
Trace Mode Trap.

A number of users have successfully used this version but that doesn't 
mean there aren't problems in the code.  It would help to know a few 
things.

1) I assume you probably downloaded an "hqx" version of the file and 
unstuffed it on your system.  Is this true or did you find a binary 
version someplace?  If you downloaded a binary copy of the file did you 
download it in ASCII?

2) How far does the program get when you try to run it?  Does it come up 
with the Copyright Window?

3) What is the partition layout on your MAXTOR disk?  What was it 
formatted with?  Is it usable under MacOS? Do you have any MacOS 
partitions on it?

If you can let me know a little more I'll see what I can do to fix it.
