- I would like something like the Mac approach. If you suspect some app has
- changed the system configuration and is causing trouble you can tell from the
- name and icon of the INITS in the system folder which belongs to which app and
- simply drag it out of the system folder.
-
- Of cause we could have the same effect if every app that changes CONFIG.SYS
- would first place a comment in the file and then make its additions. But then
- _not_ _every_ app would do that. Better IBM would provide a change-config.sys-
- -tool that maintains order in config.sys. I don't think that would be more
- than a 15 to 20 kB utility, but if it belongs to the system I have hope it
- would be used.
