I recently bought MacWrite II and would like to have my MacWrite 5.0 files startup with MacWrite II when I launch them. I thought I read recently about an init that would do this. Could someone please tell me the name of this init? Thanks, -rsvp

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

I remember mention of an INIT which *specifically* arranged for MacWrite II to open Macwrite 5.0 documents; it did not handle other mappings, as HandOff does.
