Just for the record, after wading through 200+ postings to get up to date, I to
o support a split into two groups.
My problem is this:  I have a MAC+ running with a Paradise 20 external drive.
I am running Finder 6.0 and System 4.2 which were NOT installed with installer.
  I need a boot floppy which is similarly outfitted in Finder and System.  When
 I start up, however, Inits such as Findswell, Suitcase, etc. are not recognize
d.  In fact only Pyro is recognized, but it will only become active if I enter
the control panel.  I wish to find out why my inits do not work.  Any one out t
here with a clue?
   Also, I have noticed a bug in LSC 2.13 with type conversions...
 float x,y,foo();
   plot((int)x,(int)y);   where these are integer parameters for the routine
                          will not always cast correctly.  It may have been thi
                          come to think of it (It's late forgive me).
   plot((int)foo(x),(int)foo(y)); did not work, yet this did...
 
   int i,j;
   float x,y,foo();
   plot(i=(int)foo(x),j=(int)foo(y)); did work, is this an LSC problem??
