This sounded interesting, so I pulled DeskCheck off of MACSERVE@PUCC
(it's just a little closer for me :-) and ran in on our Mac II.  It
worked like a champ and pointed out quite a few little problems that I
was able to clean up quickly with ResEdit and ResTools.  Thanks for this
nice program!

I might point out that it was able to solve my missing application icon
problem of about a month ago.  It turns out that ImageTools from NCSA
didn't have the bundle bit set, and SendPS from Adobe had a little
problem with both looking for a non-existant ICN# and an incorrect
signature resource.

Now, a question.

1.  Why does the LaserWriter file give an error when run through
DeskCheck?  It says that BNDL resource 128 refers to FREF resources
-8185 and -8186 which do not exist.  I checked our working copy and the
copy on the System 6.0 distribution disk (I had to break the seal on our
copy to check, so I know I didn't do anything.) and both gave the same
thing.

Thanks,

Dennis
