System 6.0.7 has a broken Sound Manager. That's all, folks. I've heard from other people about this, too. Apparently System 6.0.7 has the "System 7.0 Sound Manager", and it's a wee bit buggy. Not that the other Sound Manager versions are bug free, of course...my goodness, no. But 6.0.7 is worse. Recommendation? Don't use sound. :-> Upgrade to 7.0 the second it's out (assuming Apple isn't serious about that alleged Sound Manager *really* being _the_ System 7.0 Sound Manager...). I dunno. -Ben Haller (deadman@garnet.berkeley.edu) "...a U.S. District Court jury in San Francisco found Aguilar guilty of telling an in-law that he was the subject of an FBI wiretap." - S.F.

I have a Mac IIsi 2/40. System 6.0.7 seems to take more space than the older systems did. If I turn off all my inits, Solarian will run (version 1.03 ONLY). I upgraded to 5 megs and Solarian doesn't even blink at the inits. Solarian does run on the si under 6.0.7, though. deadman@garnet.berkeley.edu (Ben Haller) writes: > Hallo, all.

Maybe I'm biased because I write games, don't use INIT's on my system, and then receive mail from people who are having INIT conflicts with my games. I wouldn't want to offend anyone, but, personally, if an INIT conflicted with just ONE of the programs I liked to run, the INIT would have to go, not the program. My pet peeve? MenuClock. How do you write software that hides the menu bar when MenuClock is going to write up in the corner of the screen anyway? (one answer-Don't call GNE.) One person sent me a screen dump of their system folder - perhaps 30 INIT's (some I've never even heard of:)). Someone ought to post something on INIT frugality. Sorry, I'm not griping really. Just thought I might get some helpful input on this. This is probably the wrong board for this. :======:**************************************************************** : ==== :* ** And watching the stars go on at night, ** : === :* Soft Dorothy ** I'd like to see just one of them die.. ** : == :* *****************************************jc** :.=....:****************************************************************
