Billy's article was all well and good for the adventurous folk.  It worked in
most cases but could still cause some problems if you happened to be running
on a network or something similar due to DRVR contention.  The proper way to
do this now is to purchase Suitcase, a product of Software Supply (Steve
Brecher).  With this INIT, you have access to a virtually unlimited number of
DAs (and Fonts) without performing surgery on your System file or ever even
using the Font/DA Mover.  Just move the Fonts and DAs you want in their little
suitcase files into the appropriate folders in your Blessed Folder, et voila,
they are available in any application which uses AddResMenu to build DA or Font
lists (the approved and virtually universal method).
