Unless there is newer information than Tech Note #116, setting both 
the cached and shared bits is not recommended.

There used to be some confusion it seems, about the meaning of bits 6 
and 7, which was resolved with an updated Tech Note #40 and explained 
in detail in #116.

Using version 1.2 or later of ResEdit, check only the Shared bit, as
the 'real' cached bit is, and I quote from #116...

   '[a currently unused but reserved bit which should be left clear]'

Is this information out of date? Is there indeed some good reason for 
checking both cached and shared?
