Someone in my position has to be very careful about what he posts. The cause of these crashes has never been tracked to the the source, and can't be without a buttload of work in Macsbug. Without conclusive evidence of where the problem lays/lies/whatever, it would be irresponsible for me to start pointing fingers at specific applications. I don't want to give any third party programs bad names if the problem is not theirs. Who know? Maybe I introduced a few bugs in the INIT, and the fault is mine. Maybe the crashes were because of some other interaction on the Mac, or due to the beta versions of 6.0.7 that were running around at the time. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.
