Thanks, Bruce, for bringing the Installer up to date.  The new version
is vastly easier and more obvious for the novice; I no longer have to
tell people, "...and then after you install the System, put in the
Printer Tools disk and drag..."; instead, the Installer guides them
through every step.

Also, those of us with only a single floppy appreciate the reduction
in disk swaps when doing an install to floppy: from 50,000 to about
about a dozen.

Now when the Font/DA Mover goes away with System 7, we'll really be in
business...  :-)
