Sorry.  You're right.  I *did* apply the 7.5.5 update but had forgotten
about it.

Also, I'm not running GS/OS, but my humble IIc kept from days of yore.

I'm not terribly sure what ProType actually does any more.  It removes the
resource fork?

When I use ResEdit to look at a file before I ProType it, it (ResEdit)
protests that if it opens the file it will add a resource fork.

It is all a little like VooDoo to me at this point.
