I having an odd problem with the screen saver BlackOut
in connection with either Responder or Public Folder.
If BlackOut is in the system folder and either responder
or Public Folder is also, My Mac hangs on booting. I've
taken all other inits out of the system folder. I have a
Mac Plus with 2.5 megs of memory and a Jasmine 100 Direct
drive. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I really like
the BlackOut screen saver, but Public Folder is too valuable
to not have. [ My thanks to Claris ]

The sysz resource tells the system how much system heap the INIT expects to consume. If INIT's use up too much system heap without telling the system, bad things can happen. I just checked my copy of Responder and it has one of these resources. As does Public Folder. I don't have BlackOut, but if it's fairly old there a good chance it doesn't have one. ASIDE: if you are writing a INIT/CDEV/RDEV please put in a sysz resource! Claris Corp. | Michael R.
