Thanks Ilene

I just sent the following out to my club members. Can’t include the attachments in this message but there is a site that is accumulating status information about applications WRT Lion

I’ve told you that Classic and PowerPC applications will NOT work in Lion. But it is possible that some of your applications that are Intel or Universal based won’t work in Lion! Which ones? Better to know BEFORE you upgrade to Lion.
There is a web site <http://roaringapps.com/apps:table> that is a Wiki where users like you and me can report on the working of applications under Lion. The data, so far, of course is from the Developer community. The image below / attached is from that web site. Let me cover what the highlighted boxes display.

The top box lets you click and check for an application based upon its name. Try Q to see how bad Quicken is

The Status box is a report on the software and Lion. Cheers for the green / check icon; it apparently works. Boo’s for the red / X icon; it doesn’t work. Caution for the yellow / ! icon; it worked but there were some issues. Not Tested yet for the blue / ? icon.

The App Store box apparently indicates whether the application is available from the Mac App Store (not the iTunes App Store.

Someone in BMAC asked about Filemaker Pro compatibility with Lion. So, I emailed my Filemaker contact at the company. This is what he said about compatibility with Lion:

"FileMaker Pro 8.5 or greater will install on Lion.

Only FileMaker Pro 11.0 will be certified and supported to run on Lion."

So, the bottom line is, you can use any version from 8.5 and up, but you might have some minfor problems. They only support Filemaker Pro 11.

Hope you find this information useful.
