Hello, I have found that Quickeys from CE software and Quick Folder, a shareware INIT file, are not compatible with each other!!! What a tossup!! They are both great stuff!! If Quickeys is loaded, then QuickFolder does not put it's extra 'New Folder' button in GETFILE dialog windows, it doesn't crash, it just doesn't show up. And a question about QuicKeys, how do they make it both an INIT and a CDEV?? I have the Quickeys demo, and it puts up its ICON on system startup (An INIT) AND comes up in the control panel. How do they do that??? Phil Hunt

It turns out that cdev files behave just like INIT files. At startup time, all the INIT resources in the file are executed. The same is true of files with type RDEV, which are used by Chooser. -- Larry Rosenstein Object Specialist Apple Computer AppleLink: Rosenstein1 UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc, mtxinu, dual}!apple!lsr CSNET: lsr@Apple.com

How do they do that??? INIT 31 and the Control Panel both will look in files with type RDEV for their appropriate resources. INIT31 uses INIT resources from INIT and RDEV files. The Control Panel uses CDEV resources from CDEV and RDEV files. > >Phil Hunt -- David W.

Have you tried changing the order in which they are executed? Sometimes there are incompatibilities between INITs that can be resolved easily by changing the order. QuicKeys and Quick Folder (or is it QuickFolder) are pretty close to each other, although I can't tell for sure which one would be loaded first. Try renaming QuicKeys to first aQuicKeys and, if that doesn't help, zQuicKeys. Alternatively, try toggling QuicKeys off - in my limited exposure with the program I seem to recall a way to do that... >Phil Hunt Robert Hammen Computer Applications, Inc. hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen
