For your information, Jason, the CDEVs subdirectory is handled just like on
the Mac, where CDEVs (Contro Panel Documents) are dragged into the system
folder and become active upon boot.  Furthermore, DAs and Fonts don't need to
be added to system of the Mac anymore (unless you want to) with such neat
utilities as Suitcase II that allow you to place them in folders.

As a matter of fact, what IS bad about the GS system software drifting towards
the Mac (as you so deftly put it)?  The Mac OS (HFS) definitely beats Prodos
hands down, and if you look at GS/OS (not running with the Prodos FST) it IS
already an exact clone of the Mac HFS OS - it includes resource and data
forks and all the other goodies the Mac possesses.  

So, I really wish people would do their homework first before generalizing
grossly and making assumptions.  Hope this helps.
