Looks very good. Just the following things:

- Under "Minimum Requirements", one might think that Carbon Lib 1.0.4 is required, but only the Navigation extension included in the  Carbon Lib 1.04 distribution is required, right? Maybe you should add a note, that Carbon Lib 1.0.4 can be obtained from Apple's software update website.

- Under "Known Problems", you say that  "... a perl/MacPerl binary created with the MrC compiler cannot load shared libraries." Only the tool cannot load shared libs, the MacPerl application built with MrC can. (More precisely, the perl tool loads the shared lib and runs fine, but crashes the MPW Shell when the script exists.)
