About
This is a complete package with everything you need to show icons at startup and join the next generation of inits! The entire, fully documented source code is included -- and is free to any programmer who wants it. This next generation of inits display their filenames beneath their icon, and are highlighted while they are active. Best of all, the operating system can override their behavior, so your inits will remain current for years to come. *** BE WARNED! Many old inits rely on obsolete and incompatible code. There are over a dozen different sources for displaying icons at startup, and even Apple uses four different methods in System 7.5.2. The incompatibility among these old inits is especially apparent with the next generation -- but the effect is only a visual nuisance. There's no reason why everyone can't update their inits, especially since the enclosed source code: * Is compilable on both 680x0 and PowerPC * Contains no hacks or assembly language * Is compatible with System 6.0 to the present (7.5.2) * Runs on Mac Plus to the present (Power Macintosh w/PCI) * Includes sample projects for both Code Warrior and Think C Please read the ShowInitAndName.h header file for complete details, including a bibliography!
