Looking for some people to test a legacy Mac OS app.

I've got my hands on a very old program for Mac OS that doesn't want to run for me on my system, so I'm looking to see if it's just me, or if everyone has the same problem.

These are the minimum requirements:

Macintosh II computer (Mac LC and IIsi require a math co-processor on board)
32-bit QuickDraw
Adobe Type Manager
Adobe Type 1 fonts
System 6.0.5 or higher
5 MB RAM

If you want to test this and report your findings, that will help determine whether or not I make it available. You don't get a license key, since the error I'm encountering prevents it from starting up and asking for it, so that's the only thing I'm interested in finding out.

I'll email the application files to you as disk images to write back to floppies for installation, compressed with Stuffit 5.5. In return I need to know what system you tried to launch it on, and what error message you get, if any.

I only need a maximum of 25 testers, so if you're among the first 25 to email me this week (before Sunday), I'll send them all out then.

I have a Macintosh SE/30 that I could test it on, but I wouldn't be able to test that until Friday of this week. I also have an iBook G3 Clamshell that I could test tonight, running OS9. Both have sufficient hardware requirements as well as software requirements.

You gotta post an email address so I can send it to you. Make sure you obscure it so the spambots don't get hold of it.
