I got the following info from someone who went to MacHack: supposedly if one follows the following instructions, then you can see MF 6.1b7's "secret messages". I can't get it to work. I don't see the proper hex at offset 2578 and I can't get to offset 7922 in CODE 2 (i.e, it doesn't go up that high). I was using ResEdit to try this. (BTW, I have no idea if this will or will not work. As I said, someone passed it on to me from MacHack). Any ideas? ************************************************************************ In MultiFinder 6.1b7 change the following bytes. This will activate the multifinder alternate aboutbox by Tab - SpaceBar Resource Type = "CODE" ID = 2 Original Offset 2578 4A 2D FE AC 67 16 10 2D FE B0 B0 2D FE AE 66 04 53 2D FE B0 4C DF 20 01 58 4F 4E 73 Hacked Offset 2578 60 1A 10 38 01 7A 0C 00 00 03 66 04 53 6D FE B0 10 2D FE B0 60 04 4E 71 4E 71 4E 75 Original Offset 7922 10 2D FE B0 Hacked Offset 7922 4E BA EB 20 ************************************************************************ Robert ------ ra_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu ------ generic disclaimer: all my opinions are mine

Golly I just didn't think! I cannot even recall why I did that. If I had it in Hex I would have posted it as hex. I consider myself duly chastised and will include both Decimal AND Hex in all my future patches.

If you want a *real* challenge, try making it appear w/out benefit of patching or MacsBug (or any other tool). You can make it happen all by your lone self, I promise. -Phil Goldman Apple Computer

Others have been known to go down in flames while searching for the about box. _emt
