ShutDownPict installs a routine in the ShutDown Manager's queue to be run whenever you "Reset" or "Shut Down" from the Finder. The routine blackens the screen and draws a picture centered on the screen. The picture is displayed for 2 seconds, then the reset or shutdown continues.
Files:
ShutDownPict is an application which actually installs the ShutDown routine. The routine expects to find a PICT numbered -32010 in the System File. You can use ResEd to copy the PICT #-32010 from the ShutDownPict application to the System File or use your own PICT.
ShutDown.c is the source code for the application. It was written in THINK C 4.0.
ShutDown.╣.rsrc are the resources which are linked with ShutDown.c
ShutDown.docs is this file.
Purpose:
I've never seen a program which uses the ShutDown Manager, so I wrote one. I would like to see what other ideas people have for ShutDown routines. If you come up with anything, please send email to:

Disclaimer:
ShutDownPict runs on my Mac IIx, but I don't guarantee it will run on your machine. It didn't trash my system, so I gather it's pretty safe. ShutDownPict is totally public domain, just give me some credit if you make any money off of my code.
