it appears it won't work on Mac OS X 10.7. I've been
using FileMaker Pro since '95, but have only run two versions in that
time. I bought v2.1, and later upgraded to v5.5, which won't run on
10.7. It's also one of two reasons I'm still on 10.6.8. Sadly
FileMaker, just like most of the industry, has gotten really crappy
about their upgrade policies.
Pretty sure 7 was never Universal, was it?
No, don't think so; it's the first non-Classic version, though. I
recall that it predated the Intel transition by quite a bit, and 8
was the version that offered Universal capability (and pre-packaged
apps, which were kind of cute but never really worked that well).
6 is the last version I'd use with any willingness. 7 started a
long decline, and I gave up even trying after 8. Maybe their
newer stuff is nicer, but I tried using Bento a few years ago to
do up the envelopes for our wedding invitations, and wrote off
the effort after just an hour or so trying to get it to do
anything useful.
