I've got an INIT that creates a resource file (using CreateResFile) on startup. I have no problem on a Mac II or SE/30, but it crashes on an SE or Plus. I even tried creating the file first (using Create). The file was created, but CreateResFile still crashed. Then I created the resource file off-line and it crashed during OpenRFPerm (caused an immediate restart). What's different in the Resource Manager (of File Manager) between a II and an SE/Plus? They're all running either 6.02 or 6.03! All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If so, you have a potential problem (read Technical Note 232 - Strip before OpenRFPerm) The problem is that OpenRFPerm looks at the pointer to the name of the file being opened. If the pointer has the resource bit set (which it will if the name is stored inside the INIT resource) certain other things occur (which are for old bugs/patches for ancient print drivers/applications) The solution is to get the address of the file name, do a strip address, and then call OpenRFPerm. This should clear up the problem.
