I use the HFS FST from System 6.0.1 which works perfectly
under System 5.0.4.  For System 6.0.1 distributions, I would
recommend replacing the 6.0.1 LaserWriter driver with the
one from 6.0.  The one from 6.0 was much more friendly to
LaserJet Postscript printers.  The one in 6.0.1 appears to
generate some LaserWriter specific Postscript which is not
good for using the driver for third party Postscript printers
(or saving Postscript files of documents to send to a PC or
Mac).
