Hiya,

    The trick is that the blesser looks for a file with type 'ZSYS',
at system 7, the system file has a type 'zsys'. You need two copies of
the blesser. One of them you modify (using resedit or something
similar). Open the code resource, search ASCII for ZSYS, and change it
to zsys. That is your system 7 blesser.
