I seem to remember there was an INIT that would let the Mac use the correct colour palette (instead of the default one) for a StartUpScreen (PICT ID=0) Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called. The info-mac archive doesn't really help unless you know what the right name is (I don't suppose there is a list somewhere that describes what each file is, horrible job but worth asking about :-). Any leads would be most welcome, Thanks, Michael. PS Oh yes, there was also an INIT that would stop AppleShare from clearing the screen during boot-up, its name would also be useful. Important stuff :-)

The current version in the archives is 0.7 but the newest version I have is 1.0. Version 0.7 works okay with System 6.0.3, but has problems with System 6.0.5. Version 1.0 fixes the problems with System 6.0.5 and it's been sent to sumex, but they haven't put it in the archives yet. You should use it with DeskPict or the commercially available Colordesk. If you'd like a copy of Thor's INIT, I'll send you the latest version. -Eric Anderson (author of Thor's init) eta@ic.berkeley.edu
