I'm trying to squeeze a System 6.0 folder on a floppy w/ Word 3.02.  Word
needs 350K on th edisk, so I have ~445K available for the system folder.

With a standard Plus script, I am ~170K short of disk space.  What exactly
can I remove from the System to reduce it by about 170K?  (Excluding
fonts, and DA's, as I've already cut those as far as I want.)

I'd also be interested to learn what can be pared off of 4.2 (for use on
a Plus) as well.

(BTW, will ResEdit show the FONTs that are in ROM, or just the ones in
the System file on the disk?  Can I cut the FONTs that are in ROM from a
System (using ResEdit) or should I leave them alone?

Thanks.
