Absolutely correct.  The new Mover stores the DA's as a resource, which they
are.  The old Shareware mover stored them as data.  

The new one does many checks for possible conflicts in numbers, and
DA owned private resources, and will refuse to move some DA's such as the
calendar DA, (I think summac), which don't properly assign private resource
numbers.  These often caused problems with the old DA Mover, however, and
may not be a loss.  Calendar could walk over other DA's if not installed
first, resulting in a broken system.

Much of this information came from a discussion thread on Compuserve by the 
author of the new mover.  He's still working on updates.
