- Somewhere on the Internet is a document outlining how to slim down your
- System file by using ResEdit. A PowerBook 170 specific System file on a
- diet is about 515K, a System file for any mac is about 750K. I don't know
- where I found it, but I have it on disk so if anyone wants it I'd be glad
- to email it. Or if someone knows where it resides on the Net it would be
- easier on me.
-
- The document is _*ONLY*_ for people who are _very_ comfortable with
- ResEdit. (i.e. Kids don't try this without parental supervision)
