Fair enough; though postings on MacFixit, where folk are finding that with
CLib 1.3.6 all sorts of Appleworks menus are grayed out, etc, suggests that
some are moving into a </sense of humo(u)r> state.
I still feel like it's an update for the sake of bigger numbers on a system
component; I haven't seen tales of "whoa!", only of woe. Rather like the
change many people have found on upgrading AS to 1.6 and finding that all
their Remote Access scripts go blurgh.
