Apple's DA mover imposes a limit of 15 desk accessories in the System File.
If one installs MacServe and Tempo (which contain quite a few drivers), this
number is reduced to eight or nine! If have up to now used ResEdit to put
up to 22 (!) DA's in the System file without any problem (with the new ROMs
one can number DA's up to 45). They even work. It is a pain, however, to have
to reassign ID's to each of the owned resources individually, especially since
one is very likely to make errors now and then. 

I should therefore like to know whether someone has come up with a patch for
the F/DAMover, or another (easy) workaround?
