	You'd think that someone at Apple would have the decency to fix 
this.  This is a serious problem in the System Software, and even though 
they aren't going to update it they could at least fix the HFS.FST.  I 
know they never will, but it would be a kind guesture on their part, 
considering the fact that about 8 years ago they convinced me to buy 
the GS and to trust them to support my machine.  Hmm...Makes me wonder 
will Apple will stop actively supporting the 68xxx based Macintoshes.  I 
heard they were going to stop making them by the end of the year.  Will 
the release of System 8 mean the end of the System Software for the 68xxx 
series.  If so, there are going to be a lot of angry Mac users.

	Opps...Looks like I got off topic.  Anyway, are there any programmers 
out there willing to fix it?  I'm waiting for the day when my 540 meg hard drive trashes on me (I have a 150 Meg partition 
with all my programs on it --> about 2000 files.  What are the chances of 
things going bad?).  Thanks.
