Re: [MacPerl] Why does MacPerl 5.18r4 install SysErrs.err?

[Taylor Leaming <Taylor_Leaming-RZLA60@email.sps.mot.com>]

I see your point about the resources.

How about something like I did to remind myself of why the file is around:

  - Take a custom MacPerl icon and add it to both of these files
      (ie: paste the icon into the Get Info icon field).  
  - Add a comment to the Get Info box
      (ie: "MacPerl 5.18r4 Installation, 1/10/98"

This makes them visually distinct (than a plain file), and with MacOS 8, the
Get Info comments actually stick around between DeskTop rebuilds.

I noticed the MacPerl Installer Log the day after I posted that last message.
Sorry, I should have looked more closely.
