I recently received instructions from the new owners of Batteries Included
 (Electronic Arts) on how to fix their useful Calendar DA to work with
the latest System File (4.1), and am passing them on to other people
who might want to fix this DA:

1. Use FEdit (version 3.05 is available free from the sumex-info-mac
bulletin) to open the desk accessory (this is best done with both
FEdit and Calenda DA on a floppy to protect the hard disk).

2. go to the OPTIONS menu and select Hex Search...; search for the
   string 2D40 FFD6 (the space should be included).

3. Once found, go to the EDIT menu and select Hex Modify, then simply
   type 2D48

4. Go to the EDIT menu and select Write Sector

5. at the bottome of the screen, grab the box and drag it back to the left
   side of the bar (i.e., go back to beginning of the disk)

6. go once again to the OPTIONS menu and select Hex Search...; this time
   search for 2D40 FFDA

7. Once found, go to the EDIT menu and select Hex Modify and type: 2D48

8. Go to EDIT menu and select Write Sector.

9. This finishes the modifications, go to the FILE menu and choose Close
   then Quit.

The people from Electronic Arts also said that a new 'more powerful' set
of DA's would be released in a month or two to replace the BatteryPak
package.
