Patch information for MacWorks Plus 1.0.18...

There are no guarantees, use this information at your own risk.

In (a copy of) the MacWorks Plus Installer, use Fedit or an equivalent and look in the DATA fork to search for the "find" data (in hex), and replace with the data shown.

Use the modified installer to 'Update MacWorks' on your parallel port hard disk, and restart to load it.

Notes:

All of these patches only occur once; the find data is unique
If you can't locate one or more of the "find" data sequences, perhaps your copy is already (or partially) patched; search for the data-as-patched to confirm. Some application's search functions require that you reset the edit point to the first sector in order to search the whole file.
If you are using an LSAC or QuickBoot, apply the patches to the MW+ file in your System folder (make a backup first)
These patches do not apply to MacWorks Plus II (it already includes these and many other bug fixes)
1. This patch is for the "extra line feed per page" bug in MacWorks Plus.

Find (once): 7210 6100 03E4 47EA 007C 2A9B Replace with 720E 6100 .... (only change the first word)

2) The following patch attempts to fix the bug in MacWorks Plus which would cause disk access in progress to fail when the screen contrast changed.

Find (once):
2F0C 287C 00FC D901 08EC 0002 0010 08D4 0002 197C 00FF 0018 1944 0008 08EC 0007 0010 0894 0007 08D4 0007 08AC 0007 0010 422C 0018 0894 0002 285F 4E75 Replace with:
2F0C 287C 00FC D901 002C 0088 0010 1F2C 0078 1F2C 0018 1F14 0894 0003 197C 00FF 0018 1944 0078 0894 0007 08D4 0007 189F 195F 0018 195F 0078 285F 4E75

3) Patch for the shutdown bug in MacWorks Plus:

Find (once): 0300 207C 00FC DD81 2248 2448 5C4A Replace with 0700 207C .... (only change the first word)

HTH, James
