Hi Gang - On several occasions people on the net have mentioned that terrific little INIT that comes with AppleShare (Desktop Manager if I recall correctly) that speeds up desktop operations by an order of magnitude or so. Having a CMS SD60 nearly full (ok, ok, so I have 10 megs of digitized Star Wars sounds...), I'm seriously growing old while waiting for the desktop file to be updated - it's slowing me down to the speed of (*gasp*) floppies! (Not all the time, of course...) I would be eternally thankful if someone could bounce me a copy of it along with any information they have. If there are people out there who are interested in more info also, I be certain to pass it along. Disclaimer: I don't know if it's legit or ethical to use this bugger on my the drive w/o actually owning Appleshare. However, if it's going to make me more (here's that magical buzzword) productive and efficient, I don't think I'd loose sleep over it. Naturally, I have no need/use/desire to own Appleshare, not to mention the high price-tag - just this little utility. I've been hesitating to post this for quite some time now due to the flames I'll certainly receive, but most of use are reading this to make better use of our Macintoshes - including myself. =-=-=-=-=-= nerwin!chris@umbc3.umd.edu BITNET : chris@umbc "Nothing can survive in a vaccuum; no one can exist all alone..." -- ARPA : chris@umbc3.UMD.EDU BITNET : chris@umbc "Nothing can survive in a vaccuum; no one can exist all alone..."

(Not all the time, of course...) I have a Jasmine 80 so I'm growing old even faster than you! :-) I've also read about this init and assumed it would be part of the new system upgrade. That appears not to be the case. I think Apple should make it legal to post this init so that we can all live longer lives... -- Peter Steele, Microcomputer Applications Analyst Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 UUCP: {uunet|watmath|utai|garfield}dalcs!aucs!Peter BITNET: Peter@Acadia Internet: Peter%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
