Re: System 8.0 vs. DA's ...Sorry for posting this so late, but you know how the holidays get... As just a dumb User & not a programmer, just one stupid but hopefully fundemental question: What's the difference between a DA and a program running under Multifinder? I know that DA's are installed with the Font/DA Mover into the System file, but couldn't part of the concept for system 8.0 to be to trim down the System's file size & maybe put the equivalent of DA's into a file that gets automatically loaded up upon bootup? Kind of like a (gasp!) AUTOEXEC.BAT? -hugh <huntzing@ARDEC.ARPA> "Everyone you'll ever meet will think he's a small arms expert." -my Boss, on my first day on the job.
