How can you make a DA or a driver exist in the System Heap so
it doesn't go away between applications?
By the way, Lightspeed C wants the socketnum in Opensocket as
an int, rather than a Byte as in IM. This was my earlier problem.
Thanks to John Labovitz for pointing this out.

If the DA allocates storage, it might be necessary to explicitly do so from the system heap. Some applications (MacDraw) are inimcal to DA's, considering them merely parasites. It reportedly closes DA's explicitly, so just putting yourself in the system heap is no protection.
