Thnaks Sheppy, but to me (the relatively uniniated Apple //e guy with the 
Orca Compiler and GS gathering dust in the corner) this sounds like a 
desperate measure if you plan to distribute your product once done. Does 
this mean that your installer will need to patch the GS/OS system for your 
product to work?

I used to write MS-DOS interrupt driven TSR's in the 80's but when Windows 
3.1 became popular in 1992 I had no problem writing schedulers that were 
compatible without patches.

I had a GS for testing my Apple //e programs back then but never got into 
it, so I am trying hard to understand why the patch would necessarily be a 
good solution.

Is there any way to educate me? I was a little alarmed to see your original 
post on this. My thoughts were "If Eric doesn't know, then who does?"

Or am I just confused:)

Bill
