I just tried it and it sort of works.  e.g. the placement stuff seems fine, but
if you bring up the help window (about layout) and attempt to scroll it, layout
blows out.  So I suspect it isn't 32 bit clean (as it claims).  Also whats this
about "installing it in /:mac:sys:System Folder"???  just stick it anywhere and
run it.  How it finds THE Finder is not clear to me, I am not using a private
system folder so there is only one.  Also you will need to log out to have the
chnages take efffect and be sure the Finder file is writable by you.

While I am here, I find that using the Mac interface to unix makes me REALLY
want a new view mode (small icon, icon, date, etc..) namely by icon
but not including files beginning with ".".  i.e. an ls, not an ls -a.  I think
i will end up putting all my files/dirs into a subordinate dir to $HOME to
simulate this effect. seems like a hack.
