The best upgrade to 5.0.2 is to run the 5.0.2 Installer scripts and install
it.  (Since 5.0.1 was never released, I'm not going to waste my time trying
to figure out which of the 5.0.2 bug fixes were not in 5.0.1.)

I don't know specifically why The AppleShare FST requires AFP 2.0.  I assume
that there is a good reason (you can assume whatever you want).  I don't
even know how AFP 2.0 differs from previous versions--do you?

Go ahead and send them to me.  The Finder did not change between 5.0 and 5.0.2,
and I don't think the Installer did, either.  If some of the problems were
fixed in 5.0.2, it'll be simple enough to say to.
