I have a question for you programmers out there.  In the docs
for a shareware init that I got said that in this new version it
was a separate file, using Apple's new INIT31 Resource (or something
like that).   The impression I got was that in the olden days, INITs
had to be directly installed in the System file.   This was less
convenient for turning INITs off, but it seemed to me that for INITs
that one would not want turned off, having it in the system file would
be more efficient.  So, my question is, is it possible to take an
INIT and somehow copy it into my System file to make it more
efficient??  Please respond by email as I do not regularly read this
group.  Thank you.
