===================================================

Got a question for you...

My mac emulator doesn't save the settings in what is supposed to be the
battery backed up RAM on the mac.  Thus, you can change the control panel
settings but next time you boot up the emulator it will be set to the defaults
again.  Unfortunately, the default for mouse speed is the slowest speed there
is... damn painful when you have an area barely wider than your mouse to move
it around in.

My question is this... is there a program or combination of programs which
will save the contents of the PRAM and restore it upon bootup?  This doesn
seem to difficult to me, just write a region of memory into a file with a
small program and use an INIT to reload it.  Do you know of any such thing?
If not, how hard would it be to write one?

Thanks...

forward replies to me or post.... thanks...
