	Hmmm...I have absolute NO idea why ShutDownSound would be incompatable with
anything, as the INIT part itself does VERY little. As the INIT loader does is
to read in a PROC resource (this is the sound playing code) and stick it in
the System Heap so that it is around at shutdown time. That's it!  I would
have to guess taht QuickFolder does something, but don't know what.  You 
might want to check the version # of QuickFolder as I remember seeing something
to the effect that version 2.0 fixed some MAJOR bugs in 1.x

>(Note: MacPuke and ShutdownSound play the designated sound file at shutdown
	MacPuke is not the same type of program that ShutDownSound is. MacPuke was
designed to play a 'pucking/barfing' sound when a disk was ejected, it just
so happens that due to the shutdown Manger, eject gets called on ShutDown 
and you get a "BLECH!'

	To save you the time and effort, I wrote ShutDownSound. A friend of mine,
Dan Green (also the author of Graphics Copier (nice DA!!)) wrote MacPuke and
do not know the author of QuickFolder as I do not use it (I like HFS Navigator
instead!!)
