My version of hfx doesn't copy files from A/UX to MacOS.  It works fine
the other way.  Have I got a partial implementation or is everybody in 
the same boat for now?  (BTW - I am running A/UX 1.1.)

On another note, is there anything "special" about the "System" file
in /usr/lib/mac that would preclude one from just hfx'ing a decently
configured MacOS system and using it for the toolbox environment?  I've
done so and found that some things don't work (e.g., some fonts I had
modified).  Are there any hidden pitfalls?

Please skip the manual quotes.  The manual tells us how these things
are *supposed* to work, not how they actually do in all cases.  As a 
friend at Sun puts it graphically:
					       software
		 ----------------------------> product
		       ^		       goals
		       |
		    reality
