    I have not found the bug dealing with FOND/NFNT resources, but I
think that I have found a problem of the DA side of the Font/DA Mover.
    Try installing a desk accessory. Great, everything works fine. But,
try installing a new version over the old (re-installing the same DA without
removing the first version from the System file). Quit the Font/DA Mover,
and try opening the DA. You get a System Error. Open ResEdit and look at
the System. For some reason, the Font/DA Mover had problems replacing
the DRVR resource for the DA. The resource is of length zero (0).
    I noticed that this happens every other time you install the DA. Of
course, the safest way of doing this is to first remove the old DA from the
System (before copying the new one over it).
    I am running 6.0.2 and FDA 3.8.
