Transcriber again

[Christopher Doty]

Hi Margaret,

Glad you found a solution that works for you.  Transcriber 1.5.1 (the
one with Panther in the name) runs fine under Leopard 10.5.6 on my
MacBook Pro.

It's worth noting that software incompatibility issues won't affect a
disk image from mounting—regardless of whether the application on the
image will run on your computer, the disk image should mount just
find.

It's also probably worth noting that nearly all software on Macs is
back-compatible (within limits).  That is, Leopard should run any app
that Tiger or Panther can run, but the opposite isn't true.

Cheers,

Chris
