Does anyone know of any way of getting around the P8 (or is it basic. system) -- save over old file bug other than rebooting GSOS? Is there any short piece of code one could run after exiting P8 that would undo whatever damage is done? (Just to make it clear: this is the bug that makes the file save dialogue not work properly when you are trying to save over an existing file and you've run a ProDos8 program -- or maybe it takes a Basic.system program -- between when you booted GSOS and you are trying the save.)

I don't know of a good general-purpose solution (other than waiting for the next release of the System Software, which isn't a bad idea). If it's an application you're writing yourself, the solution is easy--start up the resource manager with ResourceStartUp or StartUpTools. -- David A.
