I am glad to see that a new SetFile DA finally arrived.  Unfortunately, I can't
seem to get it to work properly.  Any changes I make do not seem to take effect
until I drag the disk to the trash and reinsert it.  Naturally, since I can not
do this with my RamDisk, I can not make SetFile 3.3 work at all on a RamDisk.

Is something wrong with SetFile (like perhaps a missing FlushVol)?  Am I using
it incorrectly?  Or, did it break somewhere along its travels through the net?
(Incidentally, I have the cache turned OFF, and am using it on a Mac Plus.)

If you have a copy that works, and would be willing to mail it to me, let me
know, and I will get back to the closest volunteer.  Thanks.
