The version that leaked is 1.0b4 and is not stable/sanctioned. But it _seems_ to work ok... I mean, I _know_ we're not supposed to use it, but I have it and I've been using it for a few months now (no, I haven't given it to anyone). Do you know _why_ it is "not stable/sanctioned"? I really wish they (CE Software) would "finish" it and release it - it really seems like a great program. Besides, if I'm interpreting it right, all it does is re-define the file type of any inits that you don't want to run, load the ones you do want, and then re-define the changed file types back to what they were. After that process is done, it doesn't really hang around and affect normal operation of the Mac, does it? ----- Steve Lemke ------------------- "MS-DOS (OS/2, etc.) - just say no!" ----- Internet: steve@ivucsb.UUCP; lemke@apple.COM AppleLink: LEMKE ----- uucp: pyramid!comdesign!ivucsb!steve CompuServe: 73627,570 ----- alt.uucp: {decwrl!}sun!apple!lemke GEnie: S.Lemke ----- Quote: "What'd I go to college for?"
