I've downloaded both the carpetbag proram and DAinstall, but neither seems
to work right. Carpetbag goes through the motions of loading an NDA (accessing
the disk, and all), but the NDA itself does not appear under the apple.
DAinstall, on the other hand, loads up the DAs, but then a system error
occurs when I try to return to the desktop. Occasionally, I don't get a system
error, but the desktop just freezes up.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gavin Steyn

[InstallNDA doesn't work from an NDA under 5.0+]
This actually isn't a bug--it's a side-effect of some changes made in
the desk manager to avoid potential re-entrancy problems.
The solution is to use SchAddTask (see Scheduler chapter of TB Ref Volume
2) to schedule a call to a procedure that calls InstallNDA. The call
will happen when the BUSY flag gets down to zero, at which point the
Desk Manager's data structures will be available for InstallNDA to
modify.
