Yo.

I'd like to address a problem that all of you shrink-wrapped
FullWrite users might experience sooner or later...

My REAL, SHRINK WRAPPED copy came with the bundle bit set on
the Thesaurus and Dictionary files.

This means that if you, like me, copy FullWrite, then its support
stuff, onto a hard disk, the most recent FullWrite entry in the
desktop file will point to the Thesaurus!!!

The result is that if you try to open FullWrite by double-clicking
on one of its docs, the Finder will say, "The App is damaged or missing."

Rebuilding the desktop won't fix it, because a rebuild is done alphabeticly
and "FW" comes after "Fu".

The solution that worked for me was:
Open ResEdit
Get Info on the Thesaurus and Dictionary
Turn off their bundle bits

I suppose you could do this with DiskTop, also.

This may have been a quickly fixed mistake, or it may be some
bizzare serial number thing that I've now broken, or I could
be barking up the wrong tree.

If you see this behavior, though, try the above fix.

A quick way to see if this could happen is to display a folder
of FW docs by name or date. The kind will say "FW Thesaurus
Document."

Right.

Back to sleep.
