**** HFS fix for Area Codes Desk accessory ****
“Area Code” is a valuable DA for use on your Terminal Software
disk. It allows you to immmediately know where in the heck in the
country you’re calling so you can stay one jump ahead of the
phone company. Unfortunately, if you use Area Codes on an HFS
disk, it has trouble finding the file, “Area Code File”, which
should be on the disk whose system has “Area Code” DA installed.
Here’s how to fix that:
First, you’ll need a resource editor, like ResEdit.
Fire up ResEdit, and open the DA “Area Codes”.
Youll see a “STR#” resource in the DA; it’s resource ID should
be -16000. Open this resource, and you should see a box showing
the string “Area Code File”. All you have to do is enter the
exact file path name in this box.
For example, let’s say you have “Area Code File” on the desktop
of a disk you call “Comm Disk”. The pathname would then be:
“Comm Disk:Area Code File”. You may also put “Area Code File” into
a folder, just follow the HFS convention:
“Volume Name:Folder Name:File Name”.
Area Code DA still works as is under MFS.
