[comp.sys.mac.misc] PATCH: DoveFax "FaxPrint" Chooser File

time@ice.com (Tim Endres) (05/26/91)

Anyone running the DoveFax software under System 7.0 already knows
that is resizes the Chooser window, in effect making the Chooser
difficult if not impossible to use thereafter.

I found the offending bytes in the file and testing a patch that seems
to cure the problem. If you have ResEdit, open the FaxPrint file and
open the resource 'PACK' ID=-4096 SIZE=4946 bytes.

At byte offset 0x0BBE you will find the following bytes:

	0BBE: 2F04
	0BC0: 2F2E FFF8
	0BC4: 1F3C 0001
	0BC8: A91D

These bytes setup the parameters for the SizeWindow() trap and call
it. Now change these to NO-OPs as in:

	0BBE: 4E71
	0BC0: 4E71 4E71
	0BC4: 4E71 4E71
	0BC8: 4E71

And your DoveFax is usable once again!!!!!!!!

For those too timid to patch code with ResEdit, if you send email,
I will send a patched copy. I doubt Dove would mind much, since you
need their hardware to make use of it anyways....
