I haven't played with the List Manager yet, but I believe that it is
a package (like the Standard File Package) rather than a set of code
in the 128K ROM.  Therefore, I think it is usable with any Macintosh,
provided that you have the new System file.

The List Manager is certainly available, and almost all of you have a
program that uses it: ResEdit.  I use it in my stuff, and have a partial
interface to it written in T.M.L. pascal.
If you want to run a list manager program under the old system, you must
do what resEdit does: Have a copy of PACK0 in the resource fork of your
application.  (You can get a copy from the resource fork of ResEdit.)
Now, will someone tell me what the other PACKs in ResEdit do.

the list manager is a package (Resource PACK) with ID 0.  As long as you
have it in your system file, it doesn't matter what roms you have.
