**** 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.
