I was wondering if anyone has any figures comparing the file copying
speed of System Tools 6.0 vs. previous releases.  (Copying from disk to
disk in finder, to be specific.)  Subjectively you'd have to be dead not
to notice the significant speedup, but I'd like to see some hard numbers
if any are out there.

While I'm on that subject, anyone know if it is possible to port the new
copying routines to an older System/Finder w/o having to recompile
anything, ie., by copying resources?

Two comments on the minimum plus script that comes w/ 6.0:  it does not
copy the KeyLayout doc over.  As this would appear therefore to be
superflourous on a plus, what exactly is it for?  Is it specifically for
the new type of keyboards on the MacSE, MacII (& IIgs, for that matter)?
(I never can seem to remember what they--or the ones on the older Macs--
are called.)

Also, it does appear the Word 3.02 will fit on a disk w/ a min plus
script.  I hope 4.0 will too.  Also, I _a_m still interested in what can
be removed from System 4.2 if it will only be run on a plus.
