this is absolutely correct.  i didn't realize the fonts don't care what
the creator type is, i simply checked the types.  a tfil or FFIL is quite
happy with a creator of pdos.  it won't start up font/da mover under
systems earlier than 7 (or under 7, but you don't need it to under 7.)

7.1 is out, it's completely uninteresting unless you have a machine that
requires it, or live in a non-english-speaking country.  the most
noxious thing about it is that they're charging money for the "upgrade".

fortunately, this change won't apply to apple 2 system software.
