     Good to know.

     Even so, why would a GS user want to mess with this stuff when the Sys 6.0.1
disks are available on Apple Cabi.net as plain .sdk files you can just unshrink?
Besides, the Sys 6.0.1 on 'Cabi' has the fix for HFS.FST already installed.


     The System 6.0.1 disks can be downloaded at ...
