About The Hide/Show Startup Programs
------------------------------------
!ShowStartUp and !HideStartUp are an INIT and an APPL that allow you
to make invisible the "Startup Items" folder on a Mac running System
7.x. This prevents the casual user from changing the contents of the
Startup Items folder.

For example, in our public labs, we have two applications that we
always want to run at startup:  DarkSide (a screen saver) and
ShutdownDocLaunch (an app that launches RevRDist at restart or
shutdown time).  These programs prevent most users from disabling
these startup items.


Installation for System 7.x
---------------------------
Put the !ShowStartUp init in the Extensions folder.
   - This code makes visible the Startup Items folder.
     (If the Startup Items folder isn't visible at startup time,
     the Mac doesn't run any of the items contained in the folder.)
   
Put the !HideStartUp application in the Startup Items folder.
   - This code makes invisible the Startup Items folder
     (Now the folder will be invisible until the next startup.)
   
These programs do not run under System 6.x.


Quick Note About The THINK C Source
-----------------------------------
The source code is THINK C version 7.0.  I assume you can't open the
projects in a version prior to 7.0.  Is that correct?  Just in case,
here's the contents the projects...

The Hide/Show StartupAPPL.¼ project contains the following:
   ANSI-small
   Hide/Show Startup.c
   MacTraps
   MacTraps2

   #define		APPL	1     /* in the projects 'prefix' option */


The Hide/Show StartupINIT.¼ project contains the following:
   ANSI-A4
   Hide/Show Startup.c
   MacTraps
   MacTraps2

   #define		APPL	0     /* in the projects 'prefix' option */
