How would you like to meet the guru? Try this scenario: use the Crunch utility to shrink down the executable size of a program. Now Rez that crunched file. now run the file that you rezzed. (climb up the mountain and meet the guru) Hans (much wiser now...)

Another utility that won't work with 1.3 (but does work with 1.2)
is Fastdisk. It's a utility from germany that is supposed to speed
up disk access. I believe all it does is reorder the disk so all
the files are not scattered around. But if you try it on a 1.3
bootable disk (such as making a fastdisk copy of the workbench 1.3 disk)
...
GURU!!
any one know why? I realize it's probably fastdisk's programmers fault and
not workbench 1.3, but I would like to know why some programs work fine under
1.2 and guru under 1.3, if the only change is supposed to be the auto boot
for hard drives (little good autoboot does me, I have a 1000 :> )
