I've been hacking around with Sys 7 & ResEdit 2.1, and I'm trying to figure
something out.  I edit the LAYO resource in System, and turn Zoom Boxes off
(they're too slow).  Then I restart, and they are still there!  Rebuilding
the desktop didn't help either (not that I thought it would, but...).

I also tried turning on Physical Icons, and that made no difference (I
wasn't sure what to expect with this one, so it doesn't bother me as much).

This is a bit annoying, since those ^&(_@#)&^ zoom boxes are a pain.  I
can't remember whether my 6.0.7 ones were on or off, but I do know one
thing: I had "snap to grid" on in 6.0.7, and it INSTANTANEOUSLY snapped to
the grid.  Under 7, it "moves" there, taking ~.5sec, which is really
unnecessary.

Any ideas?  Also, I used a program Layout 1.9 under 6.0.7... It seems to
work under 7 as long as I Quit the Finder (as has been discussed), but is
it safe to use it under 7?

Thanks a lot... --Erik

PS - I'm *still* trying to get the damn thing to display the floppy disk
icl8!!! Anyone figure this out yet? (Apple -- is this a bug or a feature?)
