- This patch fixes an MCL 2.0 problem that was introduced by the
- 68040LC chip used in the Centris 610 and some models of the Centris
- 650. If you have a Centris model that has a floating point unit (FPU),
- you do not need this patch (although it should do no harm to install it
- anyway).
-
- This file describes how to install the patch. You should also
- have a file called "FPU-.hqx" -- it contains the patch itself.
-
- Applying this patch requires the use of ResEdit. You'll use ResEdit to
- copy the "FPU-" resource from the patch file into the "MCL 2.0"
- application, replacing MCL's original "FPU-" resource. This patch does
- not care what other patches you may have applied to MCL -- simply
- read "MCL 2.0p<n>" wherever you see "MCL 2.0" in these instructions.
-
- Here are the step-by-step directions, using ResEdit version 2.1.1.
-
- First, make sure you have a backup copy of the "MCL 2.0"
- application, just in case. If you don't have a copy of the ship disks
- nearby, make a copy of the application before proceeding.
-
- The patch file is in BinHex format, so you'll need to decode this file.
- You can use any of a number of freely available programs that know
- how to do this (StuffIt, for example, or Compact Pro). This will create
- a file called "FPU-".
-
- Now launch ResEdit. Open "FPU-" in ResEdit. A window will open,
- showing two resources: one called "FPU-", the other called "vers".
- Ignore the "vers" resource; it's there only so we can tell one version
- of this patch from another. Select the icon for the "FPU-" resource (by
- single-clicking on it), then select "COPY" under ResEdit's "Edit" menu.
-
- Now open "MCL 2.0" in ResEdit. You'll see a large number of MCL
- resources. Locate the "FPU-" icon in the MCL 2.0 window, select it (by
- single-clicking on it), then select "PASTE" under ResEdit's "Edit"
- menu. ResEdit will now display a dialog with three buttons and this
- text:
-
- "Press the unique ID button if you
- want new resource IDs assigned to
- the resources with conflicting IDs.
-
- Replace resources with the same ID?"
-
- Select the YES button.
-
- You've now installed the patch, but let's check just to be sure. Open
- MCL's FPU- resource by double-clicking on the FPU- icon. The
- window that opens in response to this should show one resource: ID=1,
- Size=1250, and Name="SANE". If this is what it says, you've
- successfully applied the patch.
-
- Now select "Save" under ResEdit's "File" menu. You should rename
- the application to something that reminds you you've installed this
- patch.
-
- If this isn't clear, if you can't locate a copy of ResEdit, or if you have
- any other problems installing this patch, please let us know at bug-
- mcl@cambridge.apple.com.
-
- Thanks for using Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0!
