To any or all of Apple's 5.0 beta testers, I'm curious about whether
Apple is recommending that you stay away from GS/OS and APW (as they
did with SD 4.0). If not, did you need to upgrade the interfaces
and macro packages? I'm just wondering what the free upgrade is
really going to cost.

There are some obvious *cosmetic* problems (with SHOW UNITS, for example), but it *works*.

Actually, APW is incompatible in one respect: it can't read non-ProDOS file systems, which leads me to believe they are going to the block level and doing their own directory manipulations, instead of using GET_DIR_ENTRY.
