- I am not sure this is the right place for this, but if it isn't, please
- flame in toward the right newsgroup. :)

- It occurs to me that it would be quite neat (to say the least) to get
- rid of this memory zone stuff in the Macintosh by making NewHandle
- act like TempNewHandle. Or more precisely, to make any call to NewHandle
- result in a call to TempNewHandle, and if that fails, a normal call
- to NewHandle.
-
- I tried to make an INIT that does this, but it failed miserably, and I
- don't understand these things well enough to know why, or to fix it. :(
-
- So, I just wanted to suggest that somebody out there with a clue about
- these matters give it a shot, or tell me its impossible (& why). :)
-
- Dat's all. Thanx fer listening. :)
