	<sigh>

	Well, if you want to go the "Install things the official way"
route, you need to ftp three of four possible files from
pub/dts/sw.license at apple.com:

[true-type-1-0.hqx]	This contains the TrueType fonts themselves
(Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times) and Font/DA Mover 4.1.

[mac-printing-tools.hqx]	This contains the updated drivers for
all Apple printers except the Personal LaserWriter LS and the
StyleWriter.

[stylewriter-install.hqx]	This contains the StyleWriter files,
the TrueType Init, the Installer app, and the Installer script for
installing TrueType and drivers for all Apple Printers.

[personal-lw-ls-install.hqx]	This contains the LaserWriter LS
files, the TrueType Init, the Installer app, and the Installer script
for installing TrueType and drivers for all Apple Printers.

	You need to get true-type-1-0.hqx, mac-printing-tools.hqx, and
one of the two install files.  Unlike the usual archives, these
-aren't- DiskCopy images - they're just StuffIt archives.  If you want
to use the Installer, you should put the files from each individual
archive on a single disk per archive.  Disks and names:

[true-type-1-0.hqx]		->	TrueType(tm) Fonts
[mac-printing-tools.hqx]	->	Macintosh Printing Tools
[stylewriter-install.hqx]	->	Stylewriter Install
[personal-lw-ls-install.hqx]	->	Personal LW LS Install*
	* This one is a guess, I didn't download this file.

	Boot off your System Tools Disk, insert the Install disk that
you've downloaded and made, and run the installer script.  Voila -
options from heck.  Have fun...

	Now, if you want to go the "gung - ho - I'll - copy - it -
myself - to - heck - with - installer - scripts" route, then you need
to pull the TrueType Init from one of the install archives, the
TrueType fonts and updated Font/DA mover from the TrueType archive,
and your printer driver from the printing tools archive.

	Disclaimer: I'm not from Apple, I represent me and only me,
and I might be wrong.  Wouldn't be the first time...
