 Q. F-Script Anywhere fails miserably on Jaguar.
 
-A. So IÕve heard (I donÕt have access to Jaguar developer seeds).  This
-   is an issue with libPatch, and affects far more than F-Script Anywhere.
-   Default Folder X and UnsanityÕs haxies are similarly rendered useless.
-   A Jaguar-compatible replacement for libPatch is under development,
-   but it does not yet contain support for applications such as F-Script
-   Anywhere (which is unique in its use of libPatch).  IÕll fix this
-   as soon as it does.

-Q. I don't like F-ScriptÕs syntax.  I don't like the object browser.
-   I don't like you either.
+A. It shouldnÕt.  Apple re-added support for libPatch to Jaguar late
+   in the development process, with the result that F-Script Anywhere
+   works.  libPatch nevertheless needs to be replaced with a more
+   robust mechanism, and I am currently working on using the Application
+   Enhancer SDK <http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/ape/sdk/> for a future
+   version of F-Script Anywhere.
+
+
+Q. F-Script Anywhere fails to recognize Spring as a Cocoa application.
+
+A. Yes, I'm aware of the irony: I contributed code to Spring.  Spring
+   uses a unique application launching mechanism which makes it
+   difficult to determine what type of application it is.  The only
+   current workaround is to upgrade to Jaguar, where Spring will be
+   correctly identified.  This problem will be remedied with the move
+   to Application Enhancer, described above, in a future version of
+   F-Script Anywhere.
