#Hi,

#I just have copied Blesser 1.1 from the latest Developper CD to find out

This is indeed becasuse the new system file's file type is 'zsys' which is
different from the old type which was 'ZSYS'.  I just opened my copy of
blesser with ResEdit and searched for 'ZSYS' in one of the code segments
(I think CODE 1) and replaced it with 'zsys'.  Voila, it now blesses system
7.  I just keep two versions around to switch systems (I used to do this
with 7.0b1, I liked to live dangerously!).

#I have tried to patch Blesser to recognize the new 'zsys' file type instead
#of the old 'ZSYS' type, but that didn't work also.

I was able to make the patch.  Try again.  I can send you the patched
version if you want.
