Helping Dan work on a utility called Resolution Manager which allows you to set display resolutions to *anything* your video card can do.

Good news is the app is working well, 90% done.

Bad news is I have no clue how to write an INIT which will read a preference file and set the screen resolution to whatever you had last chosen.

Anyone out there who still remembers how to write an INIT and can give me an MPW make file ?

Thanks,
Rick

All I did was google "making a ayatem 7 INIT" and that was the first result :)
I just realized it's part of an entire book, Operating System Utilities, which Apple has made available in it's entirety online here: Operating System Utilities
Seems like an extremely valuable tool for System 7 development.

You may also find some useful info stashed away somewhere in here:

Pretty awesome Apple keeps all these legacy documents around, who knows for how long though...

well try the legacy documents link....they're ordered by date so go a few pages in and you'll start finding system 7 relevant stuff.

A lot of times the docs will have the examples in Pascal, and to the end of the document they will have a C reference to the listed function calls.
