How does AUX tell if an application is 32 bit clean? If I attempt to launch
many applications, I get a crash warning because the app is not 32 bit clean.
However, many of these applications will run fine. How may I disable this
warning for an application that I have tested and found to be safe?

To disable this warning, use ResEdit to set this flag, or use the A/UX command /mac/bin/changesize. Mike Chow mgchow@apple.com

There is a resource in the application (the 'SIZE' resource) which contains a bit which is set if the application considers itself 32-bit clean. anders

In case Mike Chow's message was not competely obvious, the A/UX command would be: /mac/bin/changesize +32BitCompatible <filename> where "<filename>" is the name of the application you want to fix.
