Before you get -too- happy, let me guarantee you that the GS/OS Reference does -not- tell you how to -write- FSTs. It "documents" them only in the sense that it give you a lot of details about what the existing ones do (for example, what happens when several users try to open the same file on AppleShare using class 0 calls?) and how to make the various FST-specific calls. The discussion of a couple weeks ago is not obsolete--for the forseeable future, FSTs come from Apple. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
