Does System 4.1 and 4.2 play the StartUpSound automatically? Mine seems to do it. I was going to install the SoundInit init, but I noticed the soundcap file was being played at startup, even without it. Anyone know if there are any other surprises like this that Apple never told us about? I remember that the StartUpScreen feature, a few years back, was never documented by Apple. -- Mahboud Zabetian buzz@phoenix.princeton.edu 183 Little Hall (609) 520-1270 Princeton University (609) 734-7760 Princeton, NJ 08544 buzz@issun.princeton.edu

I read in MicroTimes a while back about a software developer who was avoiding the Mac because "Apple is not above cloning software". I wish I could remember specifics but if Apple has indeed started supporting a bypass of a perfectly respectable (even if public domain:-)) software package it does not bode well for Mac software general.

It doesn't on the ][ and I can't figure out how to get them played, or how to convert them into SNDs, which I can get played. Anyone have any ideas? -nazgul -- ### {mit-erl,yale,uw-beaver}!apollo!nazgul ### apollo!nazgul@eddie.mit.edu ### ### pro-angmar!nazgul@pro-sol.cts.com ### nazgul@apollo.com ### ### (617) 641-3722 300/1200/2400 ### ### I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
