- There is an INIT at Umich called "setpaths" which apparently allows any
- application looking for a file (either in the System folder or in the same
- folder as the application) to find it elsewhere, in up to 5 other
- user-specified locations. Sounds almost too good to be true for reorganizing
- directories, but the INIT dates from 1987, and does not seem to work with
- System 7. Does it really work? Have there been updates, or are there other
- utilities that do similar things?
