What's new for Apple IIgs System 6.0.2?
After 22 years, 2 months, 2 days and 2 hours since System 6.0.1 was 
released, this is a summary of the visible changes. There have been many 
bugs fixed and many features added that are not immediately visible-they 
will enable developers to create better future products.  Be sure to also 
read the Shortcuts file on the SystemTools3 disk for more information.

Finder (see also Finder Help)
The list is FSTs now includes the RDOS 3.3 name.
You can navigate through the folders hierarchy with 'Command-Up Arrow'.

Drivers
The Ethertalk driver is now included. This is the driver for the unreleased 
Ethernet for Appletalk card.

File System Translators (FSTs)
The HFS.FST bug is removed. Your HFS disks are now safe!
Some bugs from the PASCAL.FST were removed.
The DOS33.FST has been corrected.

Tools
The Animation tool (tool037) is now included. It allows fast animation on 
the Apple IIgs.
The TextEdit bug when more than 1024 styles were used is fixed.
The Font Manager bug is now squashed.
Some bugs in the Window Manager were removed.
QuickerGraph that accelerates some drawing routines is now included. This 
program is unfinished and your system may become unstable if you install it.

What's next?
This is a proof-of-concept update. Updating the System Software can be done! 
There are other bugs in the System, let's correct them for a 6.0.3 update in 
a month or so...
