We are having the following problem with WriteNow on our SE:

The program has worked just fine on the computer for over 2 years. Now, 
however, any attempt to launch the app using either its icon or a document icon 
produces this alert: Out of memory! Your last change will be undone and all 
open documents will be saved before exiting. 

And you are forced to shell out with the OK button. This all occurs before any 
menu bar appears. This happens with any copy of WriteNow that is installed on 
this particular machine, including versions 1.2 and 2.0. 

System configuration: SE with 1Mb RAM, 20Meg Apple HD, no accelerator boards. 
Multifinder not in use, problem occurs with all INITs turned off. 'About the 
Finder' reports ~256k for System, ~729k allocated to Finder. Other 
applications on the disk appear to be unaffected. Disinfectant 2.0 reports no 
known viruses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
