Does anyone know of a DA launcher in application form that works with
the current System software?  

I recently found an '86 era program called the DA Sampler. I was feeling 
lucky, so I ran it and poked around until it crashed.

On the theory that "Inits are Evil"; it seems that a DA launching 
application approach could be more stable than Suitcase II or 
MasterJuggler (I don't mean to imply that there is anything wrong with
the current versions of these INIT-type utilities).

So, has anybody run across a modern version of DA Sampler?  I will
summarize anything that turns up in my e-mail inbox.  If there is a good
reason why DA launchers should be written as INITS, that would also
be of interest, I think.

Thanks, Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu)
