Hi, I've just recently upgraded both my DoveFax modem to a DoveFax (+) with voicemail, and my MacIIsi to Sys7.0. There is, of course, an incompatibility problem: Choosing the FaxPrint in Chooser shrinks the window so that the Setup and FAX/Data switch cannot be accessed. Seems to me I saw a workaround or hack for fixing this problem without enduring Dove's Customer Service? not-so-hotline and yet another software up?grade. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, Jonathan

The PACK calls "SizeWindow()" to adjust the size of the Chooser window, which is incompatible with System 7's chooser. Here are the nasty details. If this type of stuff makes you nervous (it shouldn't if you work on a copy), then you may send mail to me and I can send you my patched version. I doubt Dove would have a coronary over that, since you need their modem to work.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File: FaxPrint Resource: PACK (-4096) 'JEFFPACK' - Size 4946 bytes CURRENT DATA: Offset Hex-Value 0BB8: 5A40 0BBA: 3D40 0BBC: FFFA 0BBE: 2F04 ; Thfollowing instructions are pushing the 0BC0: 2F2E ; various paramaters to the SizeWindow() trap... 0BC2: FFF8 ; 0BC4: 1F3C ; 0BC6: 0001 ; 0BC8: A91D ; This is the SizeWindow() trap! 0BCA: 4CDF 0BCC: 18F0 0BCE: 4E5E SET DATA TO: Offset Hex-Value 0BB8: 5A40 0BBA: 3D40 0BBC: FFFA 0BBE: 4E71 ; NOOP 0BC0: 4E71 ; NOOP 0BC2: 4E71 ; NOOP 0BC4: 4E71 ; NOOP 0BC6: 4E71 ; NOOP 0BC8: 4E71 ; NOOP 0BCA: 4CDF 0BCC: 18F0 0BCE: 4E5E ------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Endres | time@ice.com ICE Engineering | uupsi!ice.com!time 8840 Main Street | Voice FAX Whitmore Lake MI. 48189 | (313) 449 8288 (313) 449 9208 -------- USENET: A slow moving self parody.....
