I'm afraid I have to go along with Dave Lyons.  The arguement that because
ProDOS 8 can't reed the resourse forks doesn't wash with me.  It sounds too
much like the people I see who still haven't changed to ProDOS because it
can't read their DOS 3.3 Programs.  

If we expect top see the IIGS+ or what ever and get all the advantages of new
and better things we have to live with change.  I agree that a backup program
is a necessary at the time of release.  But maybe that part of the reason we
all got notice of it's release in advance.  In the past Apple has not given
us the time to prepare for changes.  I think the announcement of GS/OS 5.0 and
Mac 7.0 is a step in the right direction.
