While this will certainly work, there is a much less painful method. A
while back I found a program called Fix68010 that will do a search-and-
replace for the offending strings in any binary. It didn't work with
Falcon, but it does work with Transformer, and almost everything else I
tried. Personally, I've given up on the 68010, the few programs that
won't run aren't worth the trivial (nearly unnoticable, in my experience)
performance increase. (But then I replaced the 68010 with a 2620 card. :-) 

I don't think Fix68010 has ever been on a Fish Disk, I got it off of
PLink or a BBS a year or so ago. I'll send a copy off to Bob Page this
week for the binaries group (sorry, I've got no source for it).
