Message-ID: <13012@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU> Date: 12 Apr 89 02:34:51 GMT Sender: news@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU Reply-To: boz@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (John Boswell) Distribution: comp.sys.mac comp.sys.mac.programmer Organization: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Lines: 27 Hi. I just downloaded "Reminder" init from CI$. This thingie is supposed to work with Diskfit, in that it will verbally remind you when your next hard drive backup is due, or how late you are in backing up. My problem is that after I istalled it and booted up, Gatekeeper tells me that it has foiled an attempt by "Macintalk" to violate res(self) priveledges against "Macintalk". Subsequently, when I went to open the cotrol panel, the mouse froze. This happened identically, three times in a row. When I removed the init, everything was fine. I have considered granting res(self) priveledges to MacIntalk, but before I do, I want to ask if this is a kown problem, and whether or not people recommend that I grant such privilges. System: MacPlus 2.5 Meg Rodime 20 (startup) Nova 30 System 6.0.2 Finder 6.1 etc. Thanks in advance, ************************************************************************* John Boswell boz@eleazar.dartmouth.edu Dept. of Chemistry boz@dartCMS1.BITNET Dartmouth College, Hangover, Nude Hampster 03755
