- Same problems here.

- I tried, but no cigars. The *.hqx file still do not appear in Compact Pro's
- Open Filelist Box.

-
- It says that both creator and file types are *BLANK*.

-
- Nope, it won't work. I get an error message, stating that both creator and
- types must be 4 characters long. You can type absolutely any 4-letter word
- (!!!) for the creator and type, and the "Get Info" will still complain that
- each of them are not 4-letter long.
-
- I use also the "Get Info" that is part of MAS (Macintosh Assembly System) and
- "Filetyper", both utilities were known to work OK under previous versions of
- E/DOS 1.99x. While both utilities will not complain when I try to change
- the creator and the type, it appears that the changes are *NOT* recorded.
- Both creator and type still remain blank. At one point, after MANY trials,
- I manage to get the changes recorded for the creator, but the file type
- still remain blank, no matter what 4-letter word I type! ;-)
-
- All this has been done on .hqx files moved onto a new .hfv I made with mkvol
- (fearing that the bug might corrupt the file system on other existing .hfv
- "Mac" volumes).
-
- My feeling is that the "Get Info" in your new file browser detects something
- wrong, but cannot properly report it. However, on *existing* files in .hfv,
- it will work fine. I could change the type and creator at will, and the
- changes _are_ recorded.
-
- > Let me know if any of that works.
-
- While I'm not the original poster, I thought it might be useful to report it.

- About that pesky fruit:

-
- Nope! The apple should explode and scatter every bits all over the screen,
- when time's up! It would even be more impressive when sound supports will
- be added. <chuckles>
