After checking for viruses, I installed the Gatekeeper INIT/cdev recently posted to comp.binaries.mac. When I ran the cdev in the Control Panel, the Mac crashed on closing the Control Panel. It then refused to reboot from that system, even after removing Gatekeeper and its log file from the system folder. I eventually found that the System file had been corrupted (virus rx reported logical end of file encountered). Setup: MacPlus, System 4.3, MultiFinder 1.0, Finder 6.0B1. INITs: Facade, JClock31. Another problem with Gatekeeper is that the instructions for use are only available by running the cdev and reading them in a tiny window. ResEdit cannot read the relevant TEXT resource (too big). Why were the instructions not posted as a text file? (There was a text file with it, and some information in the comp.binaries.mac message, but you have to read the on-line help to find out what the checkboxes mean.) -- Richard Kennaway SYS, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. uucp: ...mcvax!ukc!uea-sys!jrk Janet: kennaway@uk.ac.uea.sys
