  Warning:

  After downloading the 13 part Modula-2 compiler from MACSERVE@BITNIC,
I ran into the following problem.  After running the compiler and loader
a while, I went into the HyperDrive Manager and tried to Create a drawer.
BOMB, ID = 3.  Oops, I thought.  Humm, I'll just delete the Modula-2 drawer.
Nope, when I went to delete the drawer I had n folders named MODLIB where
n was approximately equal to the number of times I ran the EXEC 512 image.
None of these drawers were deletable, although some contained over 4 million
files :-).  Some even were protected by passwords.  I tried running the disk
test utility, but that uncovered nothing.  The only solution was to re-format
the HyperDrive.

  So, I would be wary with the ETH compiler with my configuration.

  Does anyone have the newer ETHZ comercial product and use it on a Mac+
with an HFS drive?  If so, I would appreciate hearing from you.

  Cheers.
