I have not been following this discussion,but I thought I should mention my
experiences with difficulties loading Smart Alarms.

I found that no matter what I tried, Smart Alarms (SA) would beep at boot-up
and not load.  I found that my Mac's SYSTEM HEAP was to small for all the
INITs and CDEVs I've been adding to it.  To confirm this on your Mac,do the
following:   go to your desktop and pull down the Apple menu.
Choose "About the Finder."  Look at the thermometer bar next to the system.
If it does not have atleast 30% of white space in it, then that is an
indication that your system heap may not have enough memory to allow the
loading of all your CDEVs and INITs at boot-up time!

What you may need to do is increase the size of your system heap with the
program "HeapFixer" by CE Software.  Once you get HeapFixer, follow its
instructions to increase your heap size.  Re-boot, and see if your INIT
loading problems go away.

Good Luck.
