Some people have complained that SFVolInit does not work properly.
According to the documentation, this is caused by a problem in
Apple's System code, which has been fixed in the latest release.
Please read the documentation before criticizing Mr. Lau!

Unfortunately, this means that the only System the INIT will
work properly with is hideously buggy--I don't use system 6.0.

I have a slightly different problem with SFVolInit.  I like it,
but it is the only one of the StuffIt Utilities I am interested
in.  However, this package comes as a bundle, and the price of
the bundle is too high for me to want to pay it just to get
the INIT.  Anybody have ideas on how to handle this situation
in the shareware world?
