Well, the other day someone mentioned that with the new option to drag DA's,
fonts, etc to the System folder, after dragging one successfully, the System
folder would turn yellow, and any other files dragged to System folder
wouldn't get placed in the proper subdirectory. Until you closed the System
folder window. I tried that, and the same thing happened here.

About Pointless and 6.0.1, there seems to be an incompatibility problem with
6.0.1 and the Choose Font option when Pointless is installed. In short, if
you use Choose Font, your system will freeze. WestCode did however say that
there's a workable work around. The problem won't occur if you have a
corresponding bit map font saved to disk.


I only have a few TrueTypes installed, so it only took a few minutes to save
all of them as a 1 point bit map. I did that with System 6 installed, and
then re-installed 6.0.1, and sure enough, Choose Font worked.

So...I'm looking for other 6.0.1 bugs for an article. If there are any, that
is.
