Re: Disappearing GS/OS filetypes caused by Print 3200?

As always, thanks for the detailed explanation David.

In all honesty, John admitted that he wasn't real familiar with rBundles,
and put one into Print 3200 as an "experiment." Since his uncompiled
rBundle just contained 00s, he saw no harm. He added that since he uses
ProSel as his program launcher, he never saw the 'disappearing filetypes'
problem. And this humble beta-tester has the Finder set up to display by
Icons, so I didn't catch it either.

In any case, a bug fixed version of Print 3200 has been re-uploaded to
caltech's incoming directory, and I've asked the keeper of the caltech ftp
archive to please delete the original version.

Thanks, Mitch, for spotting the problem. Thanks, Professor Empson, for the
technical explanation. And, thanks, John Wrenholt, for a nifty freeware
utility.
