- Yikes! Be aware that if you were to do something as foolish as changing
- your INIT type to 'scri' then you may not be able to do everything you
- want to!
- 'scri' is not a documented type for 3rd parties to use *because* the
- system is not fully functinal at the time that 'scri's load. What exactly
- may or may not exist at that time is dependent on the machine and system
- version.
- If you make no toolbox calls, or stick to things like resource manager
- and file manager calls you should be OK, but all bets are off in general
- at 'scri' time.
