Thanks theos911. My original thoughts on the post were to see if anyone was interested and then share the specifics. I do however see your point, so here is what I am looking for. I need a INIT or CDEV (whatever the programmer feels is most appropriate) that when loaded will change the gestalt sysv value to a user specified value. I would like an icon in the INIT parade to indicate whether the INIT or CDEV loads (this should not be a problem as ShowInitIcon is still available for download.) I do not know if a user interface is necessary. If the programmer can pull the user specified value from a string resource within the INIT or CDEV, this could be used to specify the sysv value.
