They solve the problem almost perfectly. I say almost because you need ResEdit to set them up (you have to modify the STR resources to tell them the name and whereabouts of the application that you want started) but it is fairly easy to do. Imposters is a stuffit file that contains several "Imposter" applications already set up (eg. word, macwrite, nisus, macdraw, etc.). They are very small (<3kbytes I think) and best of all, they are FREE! (Wellll.. I did need to pay for my friend's connect time!) -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM
