I can think of two reasons: 1. You don't always know what resources have been added to your system file. Remember the days before INIT 31, when applications like JClock would stick INIT resources into the system file for you? 2. The Installer is good for less experienced users, who could not be expected to copy all the fonts, DAs, etc. by themselves. --- Barry Margolin Thinking Machines Corp. barmar@think.com seismo!think!barmar
