I don't see it in any of the file- attribute-changers I have. There's an "Inited" attribute, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether there's INITs in the file; that attribute just means that the Finder's had a chance to look at the file and position it in a window and/or add its BNDL info to the Desktop. At least, all my documents I've checked had the Inited bit set (and I certainly hope they don't all have INITs in them... that must be some virus... :) ), and clearing the Inited bit in a few of my INITs didn't stop them from loading. Anyway, could you point me to the documentation of this? I'll probably be writing a few INITs shortly, and it would be very nice if they loaded... :) >Larry Rosenstein, Apple Computer, Inc. >Object Specialist > >Internet: lsr@Apple.com UUCP: {nsc, sun}!apple!lsr >AppleLink: Rosenstein1 -- Internet: phaedrus@u.washington.edu (University of Washington, Seattle) The views expressed here are not those of this station or its management.
