I was looking at the routines that are allowed to move memory and I noticed
that SystemTask is not listed. I was supprised by this because systemTask
calls DA which are allowed to move memory. I am writing an INIT that patches
SystemTask and needs to possibly allocate memory while running. Is systemTask
allowed to move memory, and if not, can desk accessories move memory when they
get a accRun message, and if so, how is this resolved?
Thanks

I am trying to write an INIT that installs a VBL task in the system heap, but I can't get it to work. The VBL works fine when installed by an application, but getting it in the system heap to stay there gives me a headache. Does any of you guys have some (sample) source that I can have a look at that does just this (or something very similar)? Thanks in advance... -John Sinteur
