(This in response to Dave Lyon's response to my question)

Thanks for the answers, but they don't make me feel very comfortable.
Will there or will there not be a usuable, reliable, incremental hard
drive backup package available on System Disk 5.0 or available at the
same time that can handle extended files?  Also, will the problem of the
Finder on 4.0 continually polling my PC Transporter's drive have been
fixed in the Finder on 5.0?  AE insists that the problem is Apple's, not
theirs, and it is the reason why I have to stay with the old Finder (3.0
or so System disk) which presumably would have the same problem with
extended files that ProDos 8 does since it doesn't know anything about
them.

And I really don't see why you can say it is better to have new extended
files that ProDos8 can't use than not to have them at all; that's only
your opinion.
