Hi. I just got a used hard drive to put in my SE/30, and there seems to be an INIT showing up that I can't locate on the disk. I'll try to descibe it: - Its icon (displayed on startup) looks like a box with a hammer in it, with a telephone on the front of the box, and what appears to be a screwdriver or soldering iron sticking out of the side. - I think its responsible for creating an empty folder called "Communications" in my system folder. - I've looked for invisible files with ResEdit and Disk Tools. No dice. - I've tried reinstalling the system software and even rebuilding the desktop. This doesn't help either. I would appreciate it if someone could at least identify it and/or tell me how to remove it. Thanks in advance. Jim jma@earthquake.berkeley.edu

You don't have a phantom INIT, you have the Communications Toolbox installed in the System file on the new hard disk. You can do one of two things: (1) Delete the system file and reinstall a fresh one. (2) Use the Installer (and the Comm Toolbox install disk) to Remove the Comm Toolbox. Never fear, this one won't do you any harm. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {crash tcnet}!orbit!pnet51!pj | RTFD = Read The Silly Doc! | | INET: pj@pnet51.orb.mn.org | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Thanks in advance. > > Jim > jma@earthquake.berkeley.edu JIM, I THINK WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS THE ICON FOR THE COMMUNICATIONS TOOL BOX. I WANTED TO REMOVE THE TOOL BOX ONE TIME, BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW I DID IT--I DO REMEMBER IT TOOK ALOT OF PLAYING AROUND (PROBABLY BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING).
