Get the upgrade to 3.02.  I've had no problems w/ 3.02 and 6.0 under
uni-finder or multifinder.  I've even been able to put 3.02 on the same
floppy w/ a minimum 6.0 script and a decent number of ps fonts.  (Inc. 10
and 12 pt sizes of all of the LaserWritePlus serif fonts, Zapf Dingbats
12 pt., Times 9 pt., and Courier 9 pt.  (All of them are Adobe screen
fonts except Courier 9 which is an Apple font.)  The required fonts are
also there.  The only think I've found is that I'll have to add Monoco 12
(I think) to get decent displays of Word Help.

An aside:  What I wouldn't do for a hard drive!!!!!!

BTW, the upgrae should be free.
