I want to say Mahalo Nui Loa or Thank you VERY much to Matt Deatherage (Apple Computer, Inc.) for the insight on the AppleWorks 2.0 _DeskStartUp call! I have been looking for this patch for quit awhile. For those interested in the patch: After making a backup copy of my AppleWorks disk, I used Copy II+ to scan my AppleWorks disk for the Hex values: A2 05 02 22 00 00 E1 which is LDX #$0205 JSL $E10000 located in APLWORKS.SYSTEM (APLWORKS.SYS if you have UltraMacros installed) and changed them to: EA EA EA EA EA EA EA which is just a bunch of NOP's. Now I can run AppleWorks from the Finder! :) :) :) Now, I wish to run a program called SETUP.SYSTEM under ProDOS 8. This program will run all BIN and SYS files in a subdirectory called "SETUPS", and then execute the next SYSTEM file in the root directory. AppleWorks hangs up when trying to boot just like when I called it from the Finder (pre-patched). I thought the above patch would help with this problem, but no, AppleWorks still hangs up when booting after running SETUP.SYSTEM. If anyone knows what the problem is or better yet, the patch for it, I would appreciate your insights. Mahalo in advance.
