Freehand 3.1, Sys 7.1, Quadra 700 & 950: Use System Update 3.0


I am having problems working with Aldus Freehand 3.1. The first time I
create a document, it works fine. If I edit the document, clicking on
anything (editing and magnifying) freezes the application. Aldus tells me
this is a problem with my Quadra 700.

The Problem
-----------
The problem was with the way Aldus handled their screen buffers. With
System 7.0 or 7.0.1, there was no problem. When customers upgraded to
System 7.1, then Quadra 950s and Quadra 700s could exhibit the problem.

The Solution
------------
The remedy is to install the latest System Update for System 7.1, currently System Update 3.0.
