In an effort to consolidate this list, I have attempted to recreate the
above listed errors.  I have encountered NONE but three of the above list.

My confirmed list:

1) System Clock still has font trouble.

2) Drive A Object produces strange effects when you 'Create Another' folder
   and supply a new name for the folder to be added to A:

3) Extra two templates in Templates folder

Note:  I could not verify all of the Non-Shell errors list because I do
not have all of the programs listed.

I concur that the SP works faster and smoother.

My system:

CompuAdd 386DX 20Mhz, 8 MB Ram, ATI VGA Wonder 24XL 1MB, 640x480x16 res,
  SP Gold installed on physical drive 1 (D:) (HPFS) over GA with patches.

SP (055) installed flawlessly.
