I am experiencing some serious problems with Font/DA Mover 3.5,
the version that came with the recently released System software.
When I attempt to install fonts or DAs into the startup System
(on my Jasmine 20 meg drive) Font/DA Mover 3.5 hangs right after
I hit the "COPY >>" button. The hard disk activity comes on and
STAYS on until I hit the reset switch. When I reboot I find the
System file is about 5 megabytes!!! This has happened while
installing both Fonts and DAs and with copies of Font/DA mover
obtained from two different sources. The problem occurs only when
I install fonts or DAs into the STARTUP System--other systems
(such as those on floppies) don't hang.

I have gone back to using Font/DA Mover 3.2 and it works just
fine so I don't think it is related to my hard disk.

Has anyone had similar problems? Is there anyone out there
(especially someone from Apple Computer) who can shed some light
on this?

Oh, I have a 1 meg Mac Plus running Finder 5.5 and System 4.1.
Thanks!  Phillip Todd
