But it _seems_ to work ok... I mean, I _know_ we're not supposed to use it,
but I have it and I've been using it for a few months now (no, I haven't
given it to anyone). Do you know _why_ it is "not stable/sanctioned"? I
really wish they (CE Software) would "finish" it and release it - it really
seems like a great program. Besides, if I'm interpreting it right, all it
does is re-define the file type of any inits that you don't want to run, load
the ones you do want, and then re-define the changed file types back to what
they were. After that process is done, it doesn't really hang around and
affect normal operation of the Mac, does it?
