Can you give me some of these good reasons? - and why not?
The VDI is allways running, isn't it? You can use the VDI from the AUTO folder 
- before GEM have been installed or more correctly the AES.

There are many programs use form_alert(), without an appl_init(), and that is
worse isn't it? 
(because the global array and probaly other structures too haven't been init'd).
