No, I'd not say that.  Thing 1.29b is quite usable, as the rsc glitches are
just visual issues and non-fatal, and you can get a dir update by hitting
the escape key, its just annoying to have to keep doing that for the ramdisk
all the time.

Per the current status of Thing, translated RSC files are to be submitted to
Thomas.  1.27b was not released in binary form far as I know, but as a diffy
file (patch update).  I don't recall a 1.27c, but I'm not sure.

All I have is a PPC mac, and aranym is slow to the point of unusable.
