I've got an INIT that I've recently changed to type 'cdev' (from 'INIT'). Now the icon no longer shows up in Finder. I've changed the 'BNDL', 'FREF' and 'ICN#' resource ID's to -4064. Is there anything else that's different? Does anybody have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

You probably forgot to change the file type in the FREF from 'INIT' to 'cdev' +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Greg Marriott + AppleLink: Marriott1 + + Just Some Guy + + + "My phone is always busy" + Internet: Marriott1@AppleLink.Apple.Com + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Just in case disclaimers mean anything at all: + + What I say comes from my own twisted perception of the world + + and does not represent the policy or opinion of Apple Computer, Inc. + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You'll also need to open the FREF resource and change the filetype it contains (from 'INIT' to 'cdev'). Then, open the BNDL resource and change the ID numbers for the ICN# and FREF that appear there (in the "Resource ID" fields) to -4064. Finally, rebuild the Desktop file (or else copy the INIT to a blank floppy and rebuild *its* Desktop file; much quicker). -- ========== ....... ============================================= Ken McLeod :. .: UUCP: ...{spsd,zardoz,felix}!dhw68k!thecloud ========== :::.. ..::: INTERNET: thecloud@dhw68k.cts.com //// =============================================

I should have been more thorough on the changes that I made, but, I did all of the above. Someone else (sorry, lost the msg) suggested that I add a signature resource and now it works. It seems strange that it worked before without the signature. Feels like messing around with black magic. Thanks to all who sent me suggestions.
