InstallNewAlert replaces the old "alert.hook" and Alert() function with a "Guru" that tells you the error in english and the task that failed. The Alert() function is identical to the one in V2.0 of the O/S except it calls my alert.hook instead of the ROM version. Of course, if the system crashes good enough (to trash the resident module), the old alert will be displayed instead. InstallNewAlert can be safely put in the Startup-Sequence since it will not install itself more than once. --===Brian Gontowski===-- E-Mail comments on BIX to bgontowski.
