- From Steve Brecher:
-
- There are some bugs in Suitcase 1.2.1 that are fixed in Suitcase 1.3. Suitcase
- 1.3 will be offered as a free update to registered users by Fifth Generation
- Systems "soon" (probably in June). Meanwhile, the following describes
- hexadecimal patches that may be applied to Suitcase 1.2.1 to fix these bugs.
- The patches also change the version number to 1.2.3 (not to be confused with
- 1.3, which, in addition to fixing the bugs, also has a performance
- improvement).
-
- Problems in 1.2.1 that are fixed in 1.2.3:
- --In some cases, startup may fail due to a problem with startup display of
- the Suitcase icon.
- --There can be a problem running some DAs that update certain types of their
- own resources (write them back to disk) under Suitcase if the DAs are
- subsequently run WITHOUT Suitcase. To date, the only DAs which are affected
- are Apple DAs (Control Panel, etc.) with System Tools 6.0. Hence this is not a
- problem for users running System Tools 5.0 or earlier.
- --Under rare circumstances, a DA suitcase file can be partially corrupted
- under MultiFinder. The typical symptom of corruption is that larger DAs in
- the file will not open when MultiFinder is off. The corruption is benign as
- long as MultiFinder is on.
-
- The following patches may be applied to Suitcase 1.2.1 with Fedit Plus,
- MacTools, MacZap, SUM, or similar utility. Or, ResEdit may be used to alter
- the INIT 128 resource in Suitcase. Except as indicated for the first change,
- in each case the search pattern is unique within the file; the block/offset
- locations are provided for use with file patching facilities which cannot
- search for hexadecimal patterns.
