Just for the record, after wading through 200+ postings to get up to date, I to o support a split into two groups. My problem is this: I have a MAC+ running with a Paradise 20 external drive. I am running Finder 6.0 and System 4.2 which were NOT installed with installer. I need a boot floppy which is similarly outfitted in Finder and System. When I start up, however, Inits such as Findswell, Suitcase, etc. are not recognize d. In fact only Pyro is recognized, but it will only become active if I enter the control panel. I wish to find out why my inits do not work. Any one out t here with a clue? Also, I have noticed a bug in LSC 2.13 with type conversions... float x,y,foo(); plot((int)x,(int)y); where these are integer parameters for the routine will not always cast correctly. It may have been thi come to think of it (It's late forgive me). plot((int)foo(x),(int)foo(y)); did not work, yet this did... int i,j; float x,y,foo(); plot(i=(int)foo(x),j=(int)foo(y)); did work, is this an LSC problem?? Please E-mail replies, as this node has less than reliable news posting. Thank you in advance.
