FutureBASIC II/Function Junction/FJ 2/Hacker Stuff /INIT Shell Of course it is FBII and I guess we shall never see FB^3-compiled INITs. Anyway, Mars' code is excellent and very stable. The code originally provided with FBII and metioned in the manuals is unstable -- don't use it ! Two of my utilities -- "UmlautXpander" and "ascii2html" -- are based on Mars' code and work perfectly even under the OSX Classic environment. Best, Herbie
