Many inits that are needed under System 6.0 are not necessary under 7, since the features are built in. Version 7.0b1 also uses more memory than the release version will... memory usage has been reduced in b4. For me anyway, I find that I am not using much more memory for my system and finder than when I was running 6.0.x. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris Silverberg INTERNET: macman@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute Main Street USA 508-832-7725 (sysop) America Online: TfChris WMUG BBS 508-832-5844 (sysop)
