I have confirmed that there definitely a bug in the glue code for the 
standard file package under A/UX 2.0.1. There is an (A1) which should
be an A1. This causes the SF dialogs to be placed at (0,0) instead of
at the user-specified position.

But I have not managed to isolate the cause of the SF Package crash
that I mentioned a few weeks ago. I do not think it is a bug in the
glue code, but rather a bug in some initialisation somewhere. Under
A/UX 2.0 it does not crash but it does do some corruption to the
system. So this bug had been around for quite a while and seems to
make it impossible to write code using the SF Package under A/UX.

I have written this report in lieu of sending a SPR (since I'm not
sure how to send SPR's). So if an Apple person reads this please
take note (and please fix it).

Cheers,
