   I too have had problems with XferIt.  As long as there is no XferIt
preference file in my system folder it works ok.  Once I run it and it
finds the preference file I get the bomb about no coprocessor installed--
on a mac+ with 1 meg and 6.05.  So if I want to run it I make sure I trash
the preference file first.  Also, when XferIt does make a preference file,
my icons get screwed--a number of times my scrapbook file inherits the XferIt
preferences icon and the preference file has the unknown document icon.  I
have never seen the preference file with the correct icon!!

                                              Hope this helps!!
