Yes, INITs should be locked, especially when you are doing things
that move memory.  The best example of this is in Apple's own
example init in TN14 (I think) [its the one entitled "Stand alone code"]
where they give you a teeny init that beeps.... it works fine on a
plus (as long as you are using the OLD sound manager) but crashes with
an address error on other machines..

You can program the Mac without the TechNotes, but they do come in handy
a lot of the time.  They're also available "for free" on the InterNet
from Sumex-aim.
