Alain, we were talking about AR8 (at least Alessandro was unhappy
about this while having no complains about 7.0.8). AR8 requires 10.4.3

Before installing AR8 I had AR 7.0.8 (true not installed but updated
from the earlier versions) on my home G5, my old Powerbook 500hz, my
new MacBookPro 17" and my office Mac G4 1Hz
while my wife used it on 24" iMac and her office 450 Hz G4 Dual. True
that to the moment AR came to version 7.0.8 all of them were on 10.4.

However I never heard complains about 7.0.8 which was very mature
