I have checked a 1.3.2 disk and the A2091 utilities disk, and they have
the identical (and most recent released) l:FastFileSystem, of size 12248
bytes.  The disks were prepared at different times, so the dates on the two
files are different.

If you run HDToolBox, and select "Partition Drive", then select
"Advanced Options", you will see a selection titled "Add/Update File Systems".
Select that, and you will see the FastFileSystem that has been installed
on your hard disk.  If its size differs from 12248, select "Update File System"
and enter the path and file name of (say) the one on your 1.3.2 disk
(if you put it in df0, enter "df0:l/FastFileSystem" where it says
"Enter name for file system".

>(This is in reference to mem location zero problems)

Memory location zero is left alone by the version shipped on the 1.3.2
Workbench disks.
