I just installed  System  4.1/Finder  5.5 on my Mac+ and, as with 
any new system,  added  my group of INITs  slowly   to  see  what 
would happen.

All seemed to go  well  until  I  added AutoCursor (a WONDERFUL!!  
INIT that automatically, regardless of  programmer efforts, turns 
the cursor into the Watch whenever  the system is unavailable for 
user input for more than 1/2 second).  With AutoCursor installed, 
the system crashed about the time that the Finder put up its menu 
bar.    Removing AutoCursor's INIT from the system file  restored 
normal operation.

Given this scenario, I wonder if it is somehow in  conflict  with 
the Finder's new "moving watch" (which I can happily do without).

Is  the  author of AutoCursor still around?  If so, a  resolution 
would be GREATLY appreciated!

Sincerely,

Jeff Harrow
