- The one I'm talking about, which I believe was called MMInit, goes back to
- at least January '91:
-
- "Recently, an unofficial version of the memory manager INIT has surfaced.
- This INIT should NOT be used as it has been modified from Apple's
- experimental version which could cause data corruption, data loss and
- crashes. Apple strongly urges that you throw away the INIT and not use it."
-
- I'm not aware of anything released by Apple, so I imagine you have the same
- thing.
