GnoP8 PIF/Finder Extra

What are my computer's reqirements

This init requires system 6.0 or greater.  Although GNO/ME is not required,
it would be rather pointless to install this init without.

What it does

GNO/ME doesn't let you launch Prodos 8 based applications directly.  Other
applications running over GNO/ME might.  Finder is one example.  If you've
ever tried launching a p8 application while GNO/ME is in the background,
you probably either: crashed; or crashed really bad and had to reboot.

GnoP8 is a Permanent Initialization File which acts as a Finder Extra.
Before Finder 6.0+ tries to open anything, it gives everybody else a chance
to open it first.  When somebody tries launching something 8 bit, GnoP8
steps in.  If GNO/ME is active, GnoP8 tells Finder that everything is taken
care of.  If GNO/ME is not active, the application will get launched like
normal

Installation Guide

Put it in */system/system.setup/
You could also try changing it's filetype to that of a Finder Extra and
placing in in */system/finder.extras/

Bugs

If you try to open a p8 application indirectly (like opening a BASIC file),
the Message Center will still have that file in it.
