Some of you reported problems with the GSymbolix demo. So here`s why it
doesn`t work:


System 6.0 seems to have additional fields in the Text-resource ($8016).
The demo contains one single resource that has been created with system
6.0, and starting the demo with an earlier system version results in a
resource manager crash. Try the following:

- start a resource editor (genesys,....)
- delete the text resource with ID $0000007
- create a new text resource
- change its ID to $0000007
- save the resource fork again

It`s very important that the resource editor is running with a pre-6.0
system (5.0.4 or so). Otherwise this action will have no effect.

If you hear the word "resource" for the first time, you can also send me
a blank disk and I will return you the GSmbolix demo.

Hope this helps.
