I use the HeapTool INIT and I was wondering if it would still be necessary under System 7, or have they improved the allocation on the system heap to alleviate the problems that Heap Tool fixes? +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | Ken Kirksey | "Any government that robs Peter to pay Paul | | Computer Engineering | can always count on the support of Paul" | | Auburn University | | | kkirksey@eng.auburn.edu | -Robert A.

None of the heap adjustment tools are necessary under System 7.0, as it now adjusts the help itself dynamically. John -- John A.

Wasn't MultiFinder in 6.0 supposed to do that too? I wonder if 7.0 grows the heap at init load time too.
