The reason Blesser does not work is that we changed the type of the System 
file from ZSYS to zsys (for a number of reasons... one of which is to give 
it the suitcase-style icon to show that you can open it up like other 
suitcase files).

One thing you could do is make a copy of Blesser called 7.0Blesser.   Then 
use ResEdit or FEdit to change the ZSYS to zsys.  Then you could run 
Blesser to switch from 7.0 to 6.0, and run 7.0Blesser to switch from 6.0 
to 7.0.

Hope this helps,
