A few more comments on the 4 DAs recently posted to net.sources.mac:

Show KeyCaps:

If you install it into a system which ALSO has the "original" Key Caps 
DA, then you can NOT change the font in the new Key Caps menu.  If, 
however, you first REMOVE the "original" Key Caps DA and then install 
the new Show Key Caps, you CAN change the font and it works GREAT.

One problem, however, is when looking at fonts whose characters are 
larger than normal characters, such as the Icon font:  The "characters" 
overlap on the keyboard and in the display.

Calculators:

I too found that the Financial Calculator and Scientific Calculator
bombed the system with ID=2 as soon as they were selected and begin to
paint on the screen.  This is with V4.1 System/Finder and 512K.  I
wonder if that's the problem? 

Any ideas?  In any event, let's remember that most people don't 
intentionally post things that don't work:  there are LOTS of variables. 

Instead of getting on the case of someone who (in all probability) was 
taking his time and effort to do everyone else a favor, let's just 
figure out WHY it doesn't work (as in the Show Key Caps, above) and let 
people know.
