I recently downloaded the TrueType "disks" from apple.com. Unlike other 
system software in the sw.license directory, these were not in "disk 
image" format. After unbinhexing and unstuffing, I copied the "disk files" 
to appropriate floppies and tried to run the installer on the LS 
Laserwriter disk. First the installation failed because the "TrueType" 
disk was not properly named (TrueType(TM) Fonts). After renaming the disk 
appropriately I get a different failure message, to the effect that "Yeah, 
this disk has the right name, but it is not REALLY the right disk."

Since one of the README files on these disks insists (unnecessarily?) that 
the installer be used, I am reluctant to do the installation by hand (is 
there some INIT 99 that needs to be installed in the System file?). So, is there anything missing from the TrueType disk or are
these errors a side effect of the files on apple.com not being in disk 
image format in the first place?
