[And in another article Mark Johnson of MacDTS said that he replaced
it with a new copy which is identical--people had been getting CRC
errors and he wanted to be sure.]

I know that the first copy of the Tech Notes stack I saw came from the
Boston Computer Society's Macintosh board and the second version I saw
came from the Phil and Dave CD.  They both were version 3.1 (a number
DTS wanted it to have, see related thread on Dogcows), but they were
*not* the same stack.  I didn't break into the BCS*Mac version very
deeply, but remember it didn't !fooM the same way as the Phil and Dave
version does.  (I think it just Moof!ed twice at that point.)

Did someone behind the BCS*Mac board change it?  I doubt it...  Apple,
are you being honest with your numberings??
