  ProSel-16 does a lot of things wrong becuase it used to bypass all
the FSTs.  When the HFS FST came out, Glen changed a heck of a lot of
code so that it could be used on HFS disks.  It's pretty robust.  I'm
happy with it.

  Dang, now there's something ELSE I've gotta look into.  Wonder when
I'll find the time to work on it.  Who knows...

  Yeah, can't say I've ever been in a position where I've needed the
option list to be copied.
