[comp.sys.mac.misc] open-wide

arie@eecs.umich.edu (Arie Covrigaru) (03/10/91)

I tried to use the INIT open-wide version 1.3, a neat hack that
is supposed to widen the open-save standard dialog so we can get
to see the long names of file, but it doesn't work.  I am using
a IIci with system 6.0.7.  Anyone had better luck with it?
I really like the concept.

On my SE/30 sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Not reliable - too bad.

In my original posting about open-wide not working I failed to mention
that it works on Mac II and IIx but not on IIci and IIsi (that is what
I have tested it on).  My assumption is that it is the 32 bit ROM that
makes the difference.

Well Open-wide seems to work on my Mac LC (32 bit ROM).

I use it on a MacII running 6.0.2 (so I'm behind the times...), and it has
worked for me FOR SOME APPLICATIONS.  I believe that the open-wide docs 
say that it will work if applications obey certain rules, which if course
isn't always the case.  When it's working, there's a little "open-wide"
message just above the upper left hand corner of the scroll box
