3. "6F^5D!$^//}TO        : Macintosh localizers.

FROM      : Gerard Schutten.

DATE      : July 4th, 1984.

SUBJECT   : International part of Macintosh System.Rsrc file.

The enclosed diskette contains all the text files to localize that part of the
System.Rsrc concerned with :

     a. Currency and Number formats.
     b. Time and Date formats.
     c. Boot messages (Welcome to Macintosh, etc.).
     d. Alert messages (System error ocurred, etc.).
     e. Keyboard drivers.

These are 68000 assembler source programmes contained in the files :

LOCAL/DSAT0.TEXT         (Boot messages)
LOCAL/INIT0.TEXT         (Keyboard driver)
LOCAL/INIT1.TEXT         (Numeric keyboard driver)
LOCAL/INIT2.TEXT         (Alert messages)
LOCAL/INTL0.TEXT         (Currency and Number formats)
LOCAL/INTL1.TEXT         (Time and Date formats, Sorting modification)

You have to modify part or all of these files to meet your local standards. I have
enclosed a copy of the PACKAGE manual that describes the use and formats of the
INTL resource (Number, Time and Date formats). When you have modified the sources
you can run the EXEC file LOCAL.TEXT that does the following actions :

     1. Assemble all the 68000 programmes (total of 6).
     2. Run RMAKER and create a Resource file containing these routines in
        resource data format. (The Resource Definition file is also contained
        on the diskette under LOCAL/RESDEF.TEXT).
     3. Run REDIT that will move these resources from the created Local.Rsrc to
        the System.Rsrc and replaces the old resource data.

NOTE : DO NOT FORGET TO PUT SYSTEM.RSRC ON THE PROFILE BEFORE YOU DO ALL THIS !!!

This diskette containes the routines as used for the new revision B software. You
should all have a copy of it (latest MacWrite and MacPaint).

best regards,

Gerard Schutten.
