- The correct file type is $B3 (S16) with auxiliary type $DB07 (desktop
- application).
-
- I suspect the problem is that you managed to get a few extra bytes on
- the end of the file at some point - probably when downloading to the
- Mac. An S16 file must have _exactly_ the correct length, or the IIgs
- System Loader will reject it (it thinks there is an invalid segment
- header at the end of the file).
-
- My IIgs is out of range at present, so I can't look up the correct
- length. Perhaps someone else could post a message stating the correct
- length of GSHK11.SEA.
