	It hasn't exactly crashed my Mac II running MF with 2 meg, but it has
locked the machine once, and every time it runs it wants to create _three_
preference files: one in its folder, one in the System Folder, and one in
a locked Preferences folder, which it creates inside my System Folder.
It does a great job filtering and catting, but I consider it to be an extremely
rude and ill-mannered piece of code.
	(Not to slight Bill Stackhouse; I just want to report some bugs... :)
