1. Well, the truth is that we had two bugs which involved writing
values to places in memory that are no-nos. For reasons we don't
understand, these bugs had no bad effects on previous Macs, but
cause fatal crashes on the IIci. However, I don't think we want to
say this.
We could probably say something like, "The memory architecture
of the Macintosh IIci is different from previous Macintoshes. The
patcher program corrects a minor incompatibility between AutoCAD
and the new memory architecture. After a copy of AutoCAD has been
patched, it will work on Macintoshes having both the new and old
memory architectures."
2. Yes, there is a proper name, and it's trademarked. However, I don't
know what it is. Apple occasionally puts out a list of "these are our
trademarks and this is how you use them" instructions. I hope to
have a copy for you later today.
