(No, GS/OS isn't.)  In System Software 5.0, system toolset 30 is the
Resource Manager.  When you try to load toolset 30, you still have
the Resource Manager, which you can't get rid of (which is good, because
you want it).

Third-party applications should *not* being stealing system toolset
numbers (30, 31, 50, 51, 52, etc).  Use User Toolsets instead--these
are reserved for the current application.

What are users tools sets and how does that help me with a third party 
application?  My guess is that I'm out of luck unless the vendor decides 
to update the software.

Speaking of which, does anyone have an updated address and or phone number 
for First Byte the developers of Speller Bee and Math Talk?  I wrote to 
them back in June to the address on their manuals and the mail was 
returned....moved and no forwarding address.

I thought about this on the way to work and after my last post on the 
subject and came up with a couple more questions.

    There is no tool30 on the Distribution disk for GS/OS v3.0 There
    is however a tool34.  Are you sure the resouce manager is tool30?

    If the resource manager is indeed tool30 (somehow) and I loaded
    First Byte's tool30 into the */system/tools folder, could this cause
    the system error $1103 that I talked about in a recent posting?

As I thought about these on the way in this morning, I won't have the 
opportunity to try this last idea out until this evening.
