Thanks for the info. Where in ResEdit do I look to find the version numbers of the files? Where would I look to tell if it's just a modified version of the Finder, as in, where do I look to see if someone hacked away the quit menu that was found on the guided tour floppy?
I did make a few copies of the disk. For whatever reason Apple Disk Copy wouldn't work (error code -42 i think it said) so I used CopyIIMac and that appeared fine.
Now something I did notice though is a pain: I have a whole of 32K avail on this disk. Between MacWrite, MacPaint and FontMover, they sure didn't leave much room to play around. I also noticed a big size culprit is a system file called "SystemOld". It's weighing in at 68K. I'm going to see if this is a usable system file in itself that just needs to be on it's own on the disk and report back.
Another thing I noticed, the "Unknown Disk" that floats on the desktop on all the System 0.85 pictures that circulate around is here as well. However, on this particular disk it is shown labeled as "Alternate Disk".
What I may just do since I'm not all that sure about resedit, is put that sysversion app onto one of copies and see what it comes back as.
[EDIT]: I already loaded and tried the sysversion on the disk. With the system file that was active all along on the disk it reports back as "Version .85 07-Dec-83". Now, I did what I said I was going to try and renamed "SystemOld" to just "System" and changed the name of the current "System" to junk and restarted the computer. That system file in sysversion app reports back as "Version 14-Nov-83". So now I'm puzzled. The other thing is there's fewer items in the apple menu on that other system version. It only shows Clock, Calculator, Puzzle and Control Panel.
