I believe that I have discovered an incompatability between LightSpeed C and the Spy init that was posted a few days ago. Spy seems to work fine except when I use monochrome mode and then launch LSC. The small multiFinder icon for LSC is misplaced, Finder window regions are incorrect, the desktop is somewhat confused. Remove Spy and LSC works fine. Don't run LSC and Spy seems to work fine. An unfortunate circumstance considering the intended use of Spy. Additional info: Mac II 5 Meg, Apple Color monitor, system 6.0.2, Multifinder, many inits but none too strange. Ed, You may want to use some of that space in the cdev to hold an address at which we can reach you directly, if possible.

I have also noticed that Spy does funny and un-beautiful things when running on a Mac Plus equipped with a Radius FPD. I would suspect that Spy hooks DrawMenuBar() when necessary to refresh its display, and doesn't restore the Quickdraw pen state when it's done with its drawing; this would account for lots of things, such as the MultiFinder icon and the "corners" of the menu bar being misplaced. --Rich Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer THINK Technologies Division, Symantec Corp.
