This would be great for finding buggy INITs...saves the trouble of breaking out floppies bec. the INIT crashes when booting from the HD, etc. Someone mentioned that an INIT manager would be impossible/useless bec. it would be loaded after INITs... recall that INITs are loaded by Apple's INIT 31. We as users can assume that Apple's 31 is relatively bug free. It has also been mentioned that many INITs incl. shift sequences to abort loading. That's nice, but not all do! And you can't decide which you don't want loaded as many use the same sequence (shift). -- Raymond Lau GEnie: RayLau 100-04 70 Ave. CIS: 76174,2617 Forest Hills, NY 11375-5133 Delphi: RaymondLau United States of America MacNET: RayLau uucp: raylau@dasys1.UUCP (..{phri,cucard,bc-cis,mstan}!dasys1!raylau})
