I put down "pre-X" because I had Mac OS 9.0.4 (now 9.1), and could not test
for any differences for Mac OS X.  I was wondering if Mac OS X should have a
separate configuration file from pre-X, since they have different
architectures.  But if Windows 95/98/ME can share with NT/2000, we can share
here too.

I was wondering why I kept getting errors there.
