- Desktop Secretary is an init which can perform some of the functions of the
- Desktop Manager, but which doesn't get paid as much.
-
- It owes its existence to the BMUG PD-ROM, which has grown to the point
- where the resource manager cannot track the desktop database. There is a
- folk remedy for this problem, which is to use the Desktop Manager init from
- AppleShare.
-
- But Apple wouldn't allow us to distribute Desktop Manager for a reasonable
- fee.
-
- So, I wrote Desktop Secretary, which reads files created by DM, and which
- BMUG can afford to distribute.
-
- To use Desktop Secretary, drop it into the system folder. It will then
- take over the desktop management of volumes which have the desktop files
- "Desktop DB" and "Desktop DF" if both of those files are finder-locked.
- (They will be on the PD-ROM — who cares if they're locked if they're on a
- CD-ROM?)
-
- Desktop Secretary will not load on systems prior to 5.0 or 7.0 or later.
-
- Desktop Secretary may be distributed for free, provided this notice is
- included. It may not be sold, or included in a collection which is sold,
- without my explicit permission.
- You can contact me at 2117 Haste St., Apt. 310, Berkeley, CA 94704, or as
- lippin@math.berkeley.edu.
