A fellow Apple owner asked me if I had heard of any other folks having
their hard disk trashed after using 5.0.3 .  He upgraded his hard disk
and then ran one of the programs to reorganize the disk to remove fragmentation.
The disk ran fine the rest of the day.  The next day he got up, was doing
some work, and when he went to use a telecomm pgm, could not find it.  When
he ran a disk scan on the disk, there were large holes of missing files.
he had backups and backed up to a previous 5.0.3 version but it happened
again.  He then backed off to 502 and has not seen it since.

Personally, I figure it is probably a software incompatibility in
the utilities that he is running.  Are there lists of DAs, INITs, and
programs which do not work with 5.0.3?  Besides SCSI.PART and possibily
AW GS 1.1 that is...
