Since updating to System 6.0.7 I have encountered crashes which I think are related to SFScrollInit. Has anyone else encountered this? SFScrollInit patches the SFGet routine so that the file lists in Open and Save dialog boxes remain in the last scrolled position, instead of starting at the top of the alphabet each time you open the dialog box. Configuration: MacIIci, 5MB RAM, 8bit internal color Inits/Cdevs: Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper Aid, MacTCP, On Cue, Guard Dog, PopChar, SuperClock, ZoomBar, ATM, SnapJot, Disinfectant Init, and the standard Apple Inits and Cdevs. And, of course, SFScrollInit The problem manifests itself in Save dialog boxes, but not Open dialog boxes. As soon as I try to change folders, the system dumps. In Multifinder I get "Application quit unexpectedly", and in Finder I get a Bus Error. I tried removing all non-Apple Inits and Cdevs except SFScrollInit, and got the same results. Removing SFScrollInit and nothing else eliminated the problem. I have tried both version 1.0 of SFScrollInit, and an unknown version with a file type of System instead of Startup. If this was Soundmaster or The Grouch, or some other recreational Init, I'd just live without it, but I *really* like SFScrollInit. Is there a more recent version, a patch, or other solution to my woes? Ken Weiss krweiss@ucdavis.edu

At the suggestion of a comp.sys.mac.system reader in Wisconsin (who shall remain nameless due to my overeager delete key) I downloaded Boomerang 2.0 from the U.Michigan archive (35.1.1.43). Works great, and does what SFScrollInit did, plus a whole bunch more. Thanks!! Ken Weiss krweiss@ucdavis.edu
