>>>Has anyone seen SHOWInit yet???   It is an INIT that displays the INITS icons

|I know that Don Brown of CE Software is also working on one, though I don't
|know it it'll be shareware or not.  It's labeled AAinit (it needs to be
|called first), and if you hold down the space bar on boot-up, it puts up a
|screen with pictures of the INIT icons on it.  You can then "X" out the
|icons if you don't want them to be loaded at boot-up (either for this
|boot-up only or until you un-X them manually).

|A VERY nice INIT, in this age of prolific INITs.

Perhaps this is a good time for a new system software request!

With all of the INITs, CDEVs, ..., ..., ..., my System Folder is started to
get CROWDED.
Why can't we start having subfolders to (optionally) house these sort of
things?  Such as: Init Folder, CDEV Folder, ...

It can't bee too hard to do.
It might be confusing for neophytes, but if it's optional, they won't have to
worry about it.
