printf("Hello world!\n");
I've been hacking around with Sys 7 & ResEdit 2.1, and I'm trying to figure
something out. I edit the LAYO resource in System, and turn Zoom Boxes off
(they're too slow). Then I restart, and they are still there! Rebuilding
the desktop didn't help either (not that I thought it would, but...).
I also tried turning on Physical Icons, and that made no difference (I
wasn't sure what to expect with this one, so it doesn't bother me as much).
This is a bit annoying, since those ^&(_@#)&^ zoom boxes are a pain. I
can't remember whether my 6.0.7 ones were on or off, but I do know one
thing: I had "snap to grid" on in 6.0.7, and it INSTANTANEOUSLY snapped to
the grid. Under 7, it "moves" there, taking ~.5sec, which is really
unnecessary.
Any ideas? Also, I used a program Layout 1.9 under 6.0.7... It seems to
work under 7 as long as I Quit the Finder (as has been discussed), but is
it safe to use it under 7?
Thanks a lot... --Erik
PS - I'm *still* trying to get the damn thing to display the floppy disk
icl8!!! Anyone figure this out yet? (Apple -- is this a bug or a feature?)

I edit the LAYO resource in System, and turn Zoom Boxes off Well, I musta been pretty tired last night... As two people have already pointed out in email (thanks guys!) there is no LAYO resource in sys7! So, I think I answered my own question (below): > [...] > >Any ideas?

It would appear that Layout *added* the LAYO resource to my System file! (yes, I still have the 6.0.7 System on my hard drive, but I am 99% sure I brought up the 7.0 System into ResEdit). So, folks, don't run Layout on System 7! :-) --Erik -- Erik Bailey | 7 Oak Knoll | Thinking Machines Corp. ejb@think.com | Arlington, MA 02174 | 245 First St. harvard!think!ejb | (617) 643-0732 | Cambridge, MA 02142 /earth is 98% full.
