You're puzzled because I misreported something. The last binary that
worked for me was 8.3.2 - not 8.3.3

Sorry to be using such an old system, but my application needs to
work in an educational environment, so I figured MacOS 8.1
was a decent baseline.

I'll try this (except with 8.3.2 Support Libs) sometime today
and report back!

Thanks for the help, Daniel.
