I have long used Macromedia Freehand as my drawing program for my
occasional drawing needs. I have the latest version, v 11.0.2, circa
2004, running well on my G5 w. Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to install Freehand
11.0.2 on my Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.6.3, and while the installation
proceeds normally an attempt to load Freehand gives a bouncing icon on
the dock, which after 6 or so bounces fades away. Is Freehand 11.0.2
incompatible with an Intel Mac (Mac Mini) running OS 10.6.3?

Thanks.

I really miss Freehand. Adobe should have killed Illustrator instead of
Freehand. They still have to fix my account so I can register the
software I legally purchased last year, so I doubt I will want to buy
anything from Adobe soon.

You are joking of course.

While that's true, an attempt to launch a PPC program normally would
give the user an explanation that the app requires Rosetta and allow him
to proceed with the installation.

The posting by JF Mezei pointed me to the solution. Thanks JFM.
