Does anyone have tools to help? (A ResEdit template, a better dialog editor, or a recommendation for a product?) Ken…
StripAddress
Message #164071
I am running MACSBUG on my IIci. More often than I would like, while using various apps from major publishers, the machine gets a bus error. The area of code where the bus address error is manifested is StripAddress. Am I correct in assuming that this is an operating system…

Help with Tool Selection
Message #163688
