ObLameHack: This post...it's my first one. ObGS/OSHack: A friend of mine was finding new and uninteresting ways to cause old GS to crash. Most of them were based around a STP command in the boot block. Worse, he was being cocky about how k001 he was in doing that. Soooo...... I fired up ORCA/M and wrote a GS/OS init file. All it did was the following: 1. Trap the Disk Insert of the Apple 3.5 drives 2. Wait for a little while. 3. Send a command to the Apple 3.5 driver to eject the disk. Was able to drop the file on his system disk and volia...instant "disk barfing" Put him in his place very quickly (he needed it). Ahh, the good 'ol days. -M.M. mmarker@expert.cc.purdue.edu http://expert.cc.purdue.edu/~mmarker
