Thanks for posting your init code...  But a small point about the above lines.
InitXX (CM, TM, FT) can return positive errors as well.  This call checks to
see if any tools are currently installed and returns XXNoTools.  Although this
might not make a difference at init time (since tools can be installed while
your program is running), this allows you to warn your users that they haven't
installed the appropriate tools yet.
