Heapfixer is not freely distributable, for some reason. It is copyrighted
and comes with some commercial products. It is also available from
Compuserve, but still with distribution restrictions.

However, there is a new INIT/cdev called Heaptool 1.2 out on the
Shareware market, which works differently than Heapfixer. Heapfixer
alters the boot blocks to set an absolute heap size.

Heaptool hangs around during the INIT startup, expands the heap to
a configurable minimum free then exits.

The Finder problem can probably be solved by secting the Finder icon
in your system folder and doing Get Info on it (clover-i). Then double
the memory allocation in the Get Info dialog.


At any rate I have Heaptool.1.2.hqx a self-extracting Compactor
archive of Heaptool and it's Doc available on request.

So I didn't want to send it across the Atlantic unsolicited.
