You don't say whether you have a //e or GS. Yes, you need to run qfix on
ProDOS 2.0.1-3 to let it handle numeric filenames. BASIC system only needs
to be patched if you plan to manipulate these numeric files under basic.

I am running 2.01 on my enhanced //e with no problems. I did remove the
mouse card before I ran install and replaced it afterwards.

If you still have problems, email me and I will help you to get it up and
running.
