Well, until I successfully launched MacEnvy and found your
Email address, I could hardly do that. Now that I have done
so, I did send Email about the anomaly of telling me I have
a 68881 when I have a 68882 installed. Someone said you may
be only checking a logical yes or no function which just
says there is an FPU rather than actually querying the FPU
to see what kind it is. Has your version 2.0 corrected that?

The above is true. However, GateKeeper was the culprit. I had to
turn it off (and upgrade to a newer version) before I could
change the file type. With the old GateKeeper, even with ResEdit
I couldn't change the file to a cdev.
