[comp.sys.mac] Unusual System file behavior

chris@imagine.ADMS-RAD.Unisys.COM (Chris Sterritt) (03/23/90)

Hello,

	Recently, I tried to a DA to my system file, and had the size of the
file go from ~300k to well over seven megabytes!  I thought this might
have something to do with the DA in question, so I left it in its own
suitcase (as I use Suitcase II).  Later, though, this happened as I tried
to update my system to 6.0.4 (it's 6.0.2 now).  I'll probably just throw
away the whole mess and install 6.0.4 to the hard disk just as if it were
blank, but out of curiosity, why would this happen?  Anyone else have it
occur?  (Oh yeah: Mac Plus, 2.5 Meg, Jasmine 70 meg drive (sigh...), way
too many inits to list :-).

	thanks,
	chris sterritt
