To de-serialize 7/7 Applications:
Clear byte 42 (hex) in each Tool directory entry. (Tools are names {T1}obj, {T2}obj, etc.) I use FEdit. These directory entries follow a condensed directory which just lists file names. These are one sector per tool, with the desk-top name later in the bottom half of the sector. As you can see, LisaWrite should be on sector 45 (2D hex). Need I say, make XLCopy copies of these guys BEFORE doing anything, and de-serialize the COPY ONLY!

I have tried to include some other fields that I can ID. Do you know more?

Short Directory Entry Format:

- File name length (1 byte: 0-31)
- File name bytes (31 bytes)
- Unknown (2 bytes)
- Time stamp 1 (24 bytes)
- Flags (?) (1 byte)
- Original system serial # (3 bytes)
- Unknown (4 bytes -- 2 fields)
- Time stamp 2 (4)
- Time stamp 3 (4)
- Time stamp 4 (4)
- Unknown (8)
- Serial # of installed system (4)
