Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 25 Summary: Speak, and it shall be provided Well, guess what? Such a bugger exists (to a point). I downloaded a little INIT off of a local BBS the other night called " Aask.INIT" -- note the space and Aa at the beginning, so that it will be executed first at boot-up. It works in the following manner -- if you boot up with the space bar held down, a screen showing all the INIT files in your System Folder appears. You then can (literarly) cross them off, either temporarily (this boot-up only) or permanently (Aask.INIT changes the INIT's file type from "INIT" to "xNIT"), and those INITs will not be loaded. And, of course, you can switch particular INITs back on at this point, too. It's from those wonderful people over at CE software, and I'll post it to comp.mac.binaries first chance I get.
