>> Patch information for MacWorks Plus 1.0.18...
>>
>> There are no guarantees, use this information at your own risk.
>>
>> To apply the patches:
>>
>> a) 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.
>>
>> b) 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)
