Using ProSel's Zap utility (also called "Block Warden") you search for $C9 08 00 D0 CE on the PaintWorks Gold diskette or a copy. (I found these bytes in Block $3D5 starting at byte $1DF.) Change the 08 to 7F and save the change. Copy Paintworks.Gold and the PaintTools folder (with its contents) to a folder on your hard disk. The Patch allows you to to start PWG under System 6 and use most PWG features. However, some Palette selection options will bomb the program. > QUESTION2) Is it possible to configure PaintWorks to recognize HFS > partitions? .... > A few tests showed PWG will load files from an HFS partition. (By the way, a ProDOS disk or partition can have lots more than 51 files in a directory so long as it is not the disk's main or "root" directory-- i.e. you just need to put your stuff in folders.) Anyway, once you are running PWG under System 6, you should be able to access files on an HFS partition. Rubywand
