It does, starting in Finder 6.1. System tools 6.0 have already been
distributed to developers and should be at your dealer any minute now.
Inits are called "Startup Documents" and cdevs are called, er,

Sun, not a Mac.) The new system also supports "vers" resources that
describe versions in a standard way for display by the Finder.
