I just got a copy of the Apple II System Disk 3.2 yesterday, but I don't have
the docs. So, I have a few questions for anyone who is interested in helping.
What tool setup.files are necessary for a bare bones Prodos 16 disk? And
could anyone tell me what each of the setup files do.
How about the new tools sets? Where did the Dialog.icon file go? (the Finder
still uses them but the Finder is still the same old version). What is the
funny binary file in the fonts sub-directory for?
Hopefully, someone out there will be kind enough to answer these questions
(and feel free to offer any other interesting info which comes to mind...)
For those of you who are interested, here is a dump of the System Disk 3.2
catalog.

It's definitly optional, but may be useful if you are on a large network. > fonts dir 1 23-Feb-88 4:40 PM rwnd B > font.lists bin 3 17-Feb-88 10:03 AM rwnd B This file is put here by Font Manager to help speed up the startup process. Normally on startup, Font Manager reads every file in this folder and builds internal tables of font information. The new version of Font Manager saves some of this information in the FONT.LISTS file. Next time Font Manager is started up, it only has to read files that have been added since the last time it was started up. The speed increase is especially noticable if you have a large number of fonts. The new tools are... #25 - Note Synthesizer #26 - Note Sequencer #29 - ACE (Audio Compression and Expansion) #32 - MIDI Tools The documentation for all of these is quite lengthy. It would be well worth the money to go out and buy the 3.2 documentation. -Paul Wenker prw@meccsd.MECC.MN.ORG -MECC, Technical Services

The funny binary file in the fonts subdirectory (fonts.lst or something
like that) contains a list of fonts along with information needed by the
font manager so that the individual font files don't have to be opened
at boot time to get that information.
