System file checker reports many, many, many differences.  So many that 
I will have to spend a considerable amount of time one of these days 
Real Soon Now (tm) verifying that the new versions are all "good".  At 
least all I have checked so far are more recent and have a higher 
version number than the "originals" delivered with my system.

Understood.  But if there is a way to verify (at least from a DOS/Win 
point of view) which count is "correct", that would help.  I suppose 
that consistency with WinProperties should be Good Enough (tm J. 
Pournelle).
