Hi Netters,

Is it a good idea to expand the size of the system heap (using
bootedit perhaps...it's a VERY old program, is there anything better?)
to prevent system crashes with many INITs etc. loaded? (the system heap IS
where INIT's are loaded, isn't it?).

I only ask, as I noticed that there was only 6000 bytes free (roughly)
out of a system heap of 200+k (using Macsbug 6.1) and I'd like
to make my system more robust. !!
