I read somewhere (MacWeek, I think) a comment made by someone at Connectix
to the effect that they had patented (or whatever) the Init and that, as
far as they knew, their method was the only way to do virtual memory for
the Mac OS. In other words, more legal squabling. But it sounds a little
fishy... Anyone with any ideas on this?
