The problem with Cap'n Magneto is that it isn't converted properly by
the unix 'xbin' program (I bet you got a checksum message you ignored).
If you download it to the Mac and use binhqx on it, it should be ok.
You can recover your disk by going into Fedit, THEN inserting the disk,
and clearing the BUNDLE bit on the Cap'n Magneto file.  The resource
map is trashed and the Finder is going nuts trying to look for the BNDL,
ICN# and other resources.  You may have to reconstruct the desktop on
that disk, too.
