Hi,
I just have copied Blesser 1.1 from the latest Developper CD to find out
that it can't switch to System 7.0. This is probably because it doesn't
recognize the new System file type. The new system file doesn't appear in
the SFGetFile box, though switching from 7.0 to 6.0.7 works fine.
I have tried to patch Blesser to recognize the new 'zsys' file type instead
of the old 'ZSYS' type, but that didn't work also.
So what can I do?
Does someone have the email adress of Dave McGary, so that I can contact
him directly (in case he doesn't read c.s.m.p)?
Thanks a lot,
Gary

This is indeed becasuse the new system file's file type is 'zsys' which is different from the old type which was 'ZSYS'. I just opened my copy of blesser with ResEdit and searched for 'ZSYS' in one of the code segments (I think CODE 1) and replaced it with 'zsys'. Voila, it now blesses system 7. I just keep two versions around to switch systems (I used to do this with 7.0b1, I liked to live dangerously!). #I have tried to patch Blesser to recognize the new 'zsys' file type instead #of the old 'ZSYS' type, but that didn't work also. I was able to make the patch. Try again. I can send you the patched version if you want. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Patrick C.
