GUPP Released-- Fixes bugs in Sys 6.0.1
If you've got a GS and run system 6.0.1., please download and install
Grand Unified Patch Program (GUPP), a freeware buxfixer by Nathan
Mates. It fixes the following problems automatically:
Font Manager 6.0.1- Bugs that could cause crashing, hanging, or
erratic behavior when the "Choose Font" Dialog is on the screen,
both within Teach 6.0.1 and when no sizes of a font are available.
GS/OS Device Dispatcher 6.0.1- Refuses to make a call to a device
driver not present in ram; safely returns with an error.
Finder 6.0.1- Fixes an unrelocated instruction that can cause
memory trashing, crashes, etc.
Window Manger 6.0.1- Fixes a problem where it dumps a block from
memory then tries to read from that block
GNO/ME 2.0.4 Kernel- Fixes a block size calculation for pathname
buffers that could cause memory corruption.
TMTerm 1.1- Fixes a memory trashing bug
NiftyList 3.4- Forces it not to cache program names-- under certain
timing conditions, could make NL display garbage on screen.
This program obsoletes and replaces FixFontMgr601 and FixKern204B
by providing all of the functionality of both of them while being
faster and using less memory. It'll coexist with other programs, but
for optimum performance, remove older versions. Even if you're not
noticing any problems, installing this program is a good safety net--
you may not notice bugs until it's too late.
Copies of this have been posted to comp.binaries.apple2,
apple2.caltech.edu, and my private ftp site, ftp.ugcs.caltech.edu,
pub/nathan.
More revisions of this program will be forthcoming as I find
and fix more problems.
