I need to intercept the two jobs the shutdown performs; namely, writing DA scraps to disk and flushing/ejecting mounted volumes. Actually, I only need to prevent latter part from happening. Why? Answer: the Macs Pluses are scattered and run off a floppy disk not a hardrive and someone would have to go around and insert every floppy. [1] Has anyone ever written a shutdown procedure and installed it using the ShutDwnInstall call? [2] Is your shutdown procedure a regular C function like a filter proc. for ModalDialog or is supposed to be a driver installed in driver control table? Thanks in advance!!!
