I use the Desktop Manager on an 80MB drive.  It improves my life.  I
don't know if the problem with mounting (and not being about to unmount)
other hard disks is a problem for people.

I have heard that the Resource Manager has a problem with more than 2100
(approximately) resources in a file.  Do you have more than 2100
different BNDLs with their own ICONs?  I know that large collections of
public domain software have problems being mastered on CD-ROM because of
this, so something is going to have to be done officially at some time,
but as to who and when and where and how, I do not have a clue.

Actually, now that I think about it, if the limit is 2100 some-odd
resources, then that's actually only about 900 some-odd apps...

I am certainly not the authority on the Desktop Manager.  I am just a
mere (and very casual) user. I therefore guarantee nothing.

Have a nice day.
