Changed and Fixes in 6.0.3 - January 10, 2001
Changes
  File Buddy now displays an alert if an error is encountered while displaying the online help, and adds the option to move the File Buddy Help folder to the system's Help folder in addition to copying it.

Fixes
  Corrected the payment address in the payment form generated by File Buddy.
  The custom install to install only the File Buddy application would not install all of the online help. Fixed.
  Erasing unused space on large volumes could still cause File Buddy to hang. Fixed better.
  Check Aliases could report one good alias as unattached. Fixed.
  The Connect button in the Unattached Aliases window was not relocating when the alias list was resized. Fixed. 
  The View Icon Family window no longers draws 1-bit icons in the spaces for 32-bit icons if 32-bit icons are not supported.
  Expanding the list of disks in the Find window could cause a crash. Fixed.
  Information in the File Buddy CP control panel has been updated.
  References in this document to beta releases have been removed.
  A few people have reported that File Buddy crashes when they try to use the desktop rebuilding command. We believe what may be happening is a hang that results from a process that will not quit. That code has been rewritten to prevent hanging if a process won't quit, and it no longer tries to get background processes to quit.

Fixes in 6.0.2 - January 3, 2001
Fixes
  Erasing unused space on large volumes could cause File Buddy to hang. Fixed.
  Droplets would not open with versions of the OS prior to 9. Fixed.

Fixes in 6.0.1 - January 3, 2001
Fixes
  The info window and icon viewer window were not displaying 32-bit custom folder icons. Fixed.
  File Buddy would not open with versions of the OS prior to 9. This was a problem in one of the betas, and the one detail of the fix did not make it into the 6.0 release. Fixed.
==========================================================
Compatibility with MacOS 8.1, 8.6 and 9.0
File Buddy was developed and tested using MacOS 8.6 and 9.0. While it has been designed to run on System 7.6 and later, has been tested to a lesser extent with versions of the Macintosh operating system prior to 8.5.
