[comp.sys.mac.system] INIT incompatibility table wanted

jack@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (Jack Campin) (12/14/90)

Does somebody out there maintain a database of INIT incompatibilities?  I
have a stubborn problem that I can't solve with the tools and knowledge I
have.  I've tried INIT Tracker and INITScope, but they don't help a lot -
everything and its brother uses BufTgFBkNum and BufTgFFlg, but this clash
doesn't seem to indicate real trouble.  I need something more specific.

The problems I get are inability to write to a floppy drive and sporadic
crashing on exit from some applications.  Rebooting fixes things for a
while.  System B1-6.0.2, Finder B1-6.1.

Yes, there is a very comprehensive list and table and it is available from
sumex-aim [36.44.0.6] via anon. ftp.

You can find it under: /info-mac/card/init-info-42.hqx and it is a HyperCard
stack. The previous versions have been MS Word documents.

Hope that helps,
