I've heard and read many times that Mac OS, particluarly Multifinder, and now the 24 GC firmware are burdened with a considerable amount of special case code to pander to some major apps that do nasty things. Is there a hidden "no-hacks" button somewhere that one can click to turn off all the hacks, so one could test one's app if one wanted to try to play by the rules? I hope so. In fact, I hope Apple is setting deadlines for when each hack will be removed, so there is some constant cleaning process in place. Would anyone who knows about these things care to comment? --dave yost yost@dpw.com or uunet!esquire!yost Please ignore the From or Reply-To fields above, if different.
