  I have discovered the cause of one of my Spectre problems.  The problem
with the Control Panel settings not being retained across boots is because on
a real Mac, these settings are kept in non-volatile RAM (at least, on a clock
chip).  This _is_ volatile in Spectre!  Solutions would be:
1) Change SPECTRE.PRG (I have V1.9) to save and restore these values itself.
2) Write an INIT and DA to save and restore these values every boot.

  A friend of mine and I are going to sit down with 'Inside Mac' to try the
latter option, in a week or two (after exams)!

    Chris
