Hi all, I recently downloaded 4Plus and am trying to audition it--the docs make it sound quite useful. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it installed. I've tried installing the init into both 6.0.5 and 7.0, and though I see the init during startup, the "4Plus" menu item doesn't appear when the TC editor is booted. Am I going to be _really_ embarrased when somebody points out something _really_ obvious that I've overlooked? Thanks, John __ -- John Miller Music Theory Eastern Illinois University

When installing 4+ under sys7, you need to make sure that it is in the System Folder, not the control panels or anything else. This is because (and I am guessing by its behavior), when the INIT part it detects a _Launch of THINK C, it looks in the System Folder for itself so that it can add its spiffy code to the THINK C heap. The reason it does this is because the INIT tries to keep itself as small as possible... all it does is sit in the system heap looking for a _Launch of THINK C... then puts the real code in the THINK C heap so that the system heap isn't cluttered up by it. Hope this helps... --Doug -- Doug Bitting | "And we know that in all things God works PO Box 3043 Yale Station | for the good of those who love him..."
