A while ago, I wrote asking for help in stripping the system (4.1) of
resources that, for a Mac+, are not needed. This was taken from an article
in the Sept. '87, Mackey, re-printed from Mouse Tracks, Portland user Group,
by Ken Peterson. Specifically mentioned are
Type ID Size Why Comments

This amounts to about 85K that can be eliminated. A pared down system file
on a Mac+ would be highly desirable for any number of reasons.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
? Could some one confirm these are the correct ones, or otherwise respond ?
? in some way on how to strip the system file on a Mac+ to only what is ?
? needed on the Mac+ ?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
