I just downloaded Disinfectant 2.0 (mainly to see the About box...) but when I ran it it trashed my Mac-a-Mug Demo. Specifically when it got to the demo, Gatekeeper Aid complained about an Implied loader - it then went into a loop asking me to okay the removal of said routine (no option). I clicked on okay a couple of dozen times only to be asked again, eventually I went for reset. Surprise, Mac-a-mug is completely hosed - I have a back-up, but if this behaviour is common with Microsoft Basic programs then maybe it is wise to pass this on. Configuration: SE/020, Gatekeeper aid 1.0.1, Disinfectant 2.0. Disinfectant 1.6 did not get into this mess, so I am tempted to point my finger at the latest release.

Actually, what you say later indicated that Gatekeeper Aid trashed your Mac-a-Mug Demo. > Specifically when it got to the demo, Gatekeeper Aid complained > about an Implied Loader How did Gatekeeper Aid "get" to the demo? > Configuration: SE/020, Gatekeeper aid 1.0.1, Disinfectant 2.0. > Disinfectant 1.6 did not get into this mess, so I am tempted to point > my finger at the latest release. I've been using Disinfectant 2.0 with Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.1 on my IIcx (using System 6.0.4 and 6.0.5) with no problems. However, I recently (pre Disinfectant 2.0 release) had an incoming download trashed when Gatekeeper Aid discovered that it had an implied loader 'CODE' resource. The download was a Compactor auto-extracting file. Gatekeeper Aid trashed it because its file type didn't get set to APPL. Its file type wasn't set correctly because White Knight 11.08 didn't have File(Other) privileged under GateKeeper (White Knight 11.07 did <sheepish grin>). The protection INITs and other hacks performed exactly as they were designed to, if not how I wanted them to. Disinfectant (insert any version here) had nothing to do with the behavior.
