I'd personally recommend getting the floppy upgrade - it is all external
storage (only 14 floppies, which is irritationg but much less than a whole
afternoon's work) and takes up next to no space doing the upgrade. Plus you
get MacX 1.1 which you don't from the cpio archive.

Guess what - it is an AppleSingle format TeachText document. TextEditor can
read these (I discover) and anyway it seems to be word-for-word identical to
the file README in that same directory.
