Is there any way to determine what order the inits in 7.0 will load? Is there any way to alter them predictably?

Either that, or you can take the approach that has been used with System 6.0.x for a few billion years and modify the name of the extension. As an aside, don't take this as flaming, but it's not all that good an idea to have 13 lines of signature for a 2 line question. -- \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | / - Michael Weiss weiss@watson.seas.ucla.edu | School of Engineering and - - izzydp5@oac.ucla.edu | Applied Science, UCLA - / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \

Extensions in System 7 are loaded from three places: The Extensions Folder, the Control Panels folder, and the System Folder (in that order). Within each folder the extensions are loaded in "file system" order, which happens to be alphabetical order. Greg Marriott Blue Meanie Apple Computer, Inc.

What happens if an INIT with a cdev interface is aliased to both the System folder and the Control Panels folder, as must be done with some current items. Is the INIT code loaded twice? Richard C.

Is the INIT code loaded twice? In my experience, an alias does not load the original, so the cdev will not load at startup at all (I verified this with SoundMaster) if it is aliased in both locations. I've had no problems putting SoundMaster in the Extensions folder and then aliasing it from the Control Panels folder. --------- Doc ********************** Signature Block : Version 2.5 ********************* * | OK, one last time . . .

Is the INIT code loaded twice? No, it appears that an alias will not cause the INIT to load. I worked this out because I wanted to leave one of my cdev's in the Control Panel folder but wanted its INIT to load first so I put an alias in the Extensions folder: no good. It loaded once in the order it was in the Control Panels folder. * Origin: White Mailer Test Point (1.0d6) (1:282/22.510)

They will basically load alphabetically so you can change the order by changing the name as in System 6.0. The only real difference is that all INIT code in the Extensions folder will load before the INITs in the Control Panels folder so you may have to move a problem cdev to the Extensions folder or vice versa. * Origin: White Mailer Test Point (1.0d6) (1:282/22.510)

Any problems I have with INITs/CDEVs I solve by putting the actual
INIT/CDEV into the extensions folder with an alias in the Control Panels
folder. The control panel picks up the alias but the bootup procedure only
sees the "real" file.
And don't forget, if you have a problem with an INIT that MUST be
at base level in the System Folder you can probably bag using that INIT
with system 7 unless you are willing to put EVERYTHING in the system folder
with it!
