SHOWINIT Enclosed (Resource!!)

Hello,
 
  While I was searching for ShowINIT, a utility that displays the INIT's ICON 
during system startup, I was told that each and every INIT file must use a piece
of code that was in the public domain to do this.  Oh, well,   but...  I just 
came across AutoIdle by Larry Rosenstein of Apple that was put in the public
domain, and it does SHOWINIT of it's ICON, but from a seperate INIT resource!!!
He must have modified it to allow its use from a seperate resource!!
 
So I took the resource and pasted it into each and every INIT I have (42 of
them) and lo, and behold, they all show their ICONS on startup now except for
3 of them, namely, Suitcase!, Pyro! and CheapBeep.  
 
Anyway, since the routine is public domain and the AutoIdle I grabbed it from is
public domain and the routine is short, enclosed is ShowINIT.HQX.  To use, just
use the utility BINHEX to pack it back to a binary file and then use RESEDIT 1.1
or so to paste it's INIT, ID=128 resource into your INIT files.  Be
careful not to overwrite and INIT ID of 128 already in your INIT file.  BTW,
Pyro! and Suicase! INITs are ID=128.  I wonder if that is the reason it didn't
work on them, even after ShowINIT was renamed to 127, oh well.
 
Also,  The INIT must have an ICN# resource or the ShowINIT code will not execute
anyway because there would be no picture to display anyway.  Have fun!!!
