    |\|ope, that's because the SCC.Manager file didn't give those
 error messages in Sys 6.0.  Since you said you got 6.0.1 from
 Resource Central, you must have gotten the release notes, too.
 Check page 12, under "SCC Manager."  (:

    ][t's surprising how many people have been seeing this message.
 Easy Update always installs new versions of whatever you already
 have in your System folder, leaving it up to you to decide previously
 if they should be there or not.  So, either sometime in the past one
 of the scripts on the Install disk included the SCC.Manager when it
 shouldn't have, or a LOT of people have been doing manual installs
 (at least of drivers), and they've been blindly putting things in
 there without really knowing what they do ("SCC.Manager?  What's
 that?  Well, can't hurt to have a few MORE extraneous files in my
 System folder so I'll just throw it in...").  Actually, even I had
 the SCC.Manager file in my drivers folder at one time, but I took it
 out long ago when I found out what it was for.  That was probably
 back around System 4.0, when it was still simple to do a manual
 install and not worry too much about missing something (there were
 so few files it was hard to leave anything out).  The Installer was
 new and many people didn't trust it, then, too.
