    I've not seen Kitchen Sink's 'System-II' graphical desktop, but 
what is in that archive you mention above is certainly not it. It
seems to contain a copy of Apple II Desktop 1.1 (formely MouseDesk)
and a questionable program named "UltraLaunch IIgs" (with a 1991-92
copyright from Apple Computer).  I say questionable, as the latter 
appears to be a sector edited version of Apple II Desktop. Unless 
of course, Apple re-released the program a third time, with yet 
another new name. This would be news to me though...
