Compiler Error

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: Classic Mac Apps!
1 - First Draft was a vector-based drawing app for Classic MacOS that featured a simplified toolset for making basic illustrations and line art.
2 - BOOM is a Mac game that blends Bomberman and DOOM, featuring Bomberman-style gameplay for one or two players, with enemies and sound effects closely inspirited by DOOM.
3 - Suitcase was an integral tool for any graphics professional, automating the process of enabling and disabling fonts based on the project at hand.
4 - Stuffit Expander was the solution for Mac users to decompress archives, and was an integral part of the shareware community, serving as the de-facto filetype for many downloaded Mac apps.
