I have two questions:

1) I have a memory resident init.  I know that if i allocate memory for a
   variable then i must set the zone to syszone or else there is a good
   chance the memory will fly away suddenly.  But if i do a normal variable 
   that is global (i am in LSC) will that variable be okay and be allocated 
   properly int he system heap?  I do have the sysheap bit set for the init
   resource.

2) I have an installer program and it copies resources from itself to the
   chosen system file.  However, when it copies the resources, it loses
   the settings for sysheap, bundle, locked, etc.   Is this normal?  Do i
   actually have to set all that again after copying?  If so, that is a
   roayl pain....


Thanx,
