Thanks James,

This will help me tremendously.  We have a G4, licensed for OSX, that went to
the Mac shop for a power supply/switch faiure, and came back with OS 9.1 nuked
and paved onto it.  I've been too disgusted to deal with it for a couple
months, but this information is enough to motivate me to get OSX back onto it.
