  The very latest version of cron fixed the hardcoded pathname problem; 
in fact, I wrote cron from scratch for the IIgs, rather than port it.
I wanted something small and tidy, and from-scratch usually gets you
that.  I have my system set up with UNIX volume names. In the initial
cron release I forgot to change those, but when we went through a big
cron bug-busting session for a while I fixed that at the same time.

  Um, er, um... I haven't put them up there.  There's one more thing I
wanted to do to the drivers, and there is a bug in rz (it only accepts
one file at a time.. e.g., if you "sz a b c d e" on the UNIX end
rz will only download 'a'.)  I guess it won't hurt to go ahead and
upload them.
