This application is free, but the author retains all rights. It may not be sold, offered for sale, or bundled anywhere. It may be distributed as long as no charge is made for the distribution. If this means that you must give the disk away, so be it. Bulletin boards and national services (CompuServe, GEnie, Delphi, et al.) which charge a use fee but not a specific fee for each download, are exempt.
Again, BundAid may not be sold or included on a disk which is sold.
Every Macintosh file has some flags which tell the Finder what kind of file it is. Applications, Control Panel files, and the like have information which allows them to have their own icons and assign icons to related files. This information is stored in the file╒s ╘BNDL╒ resource, and files which have these resources are marked by having their ╥Bundle Bits╙ equal to 1.
Unfortunately, over the years, there have apparently been some programs which incorrectly set the bundle bits of documents they created. The most glaring example was FullWrite Professional, whose Thesaurus file╘s bundle bit was set. The consequence of this is rather serious╔when the user double-clicks on a document, the system opens the application which created that document. In the case mentioned above, FWP documents try to open the ╥application╙ Thesaurus.
BundAid will scan an entire disk, making sure that each file whose bundle bit is set actually has a BNDL resource. If it does not, the bundle bit will correctly be cleared to 0.
This program will receive minimal support other than for bug fixes. Please report any problems to:
