Hi,
I'm using vMac (www.vmac.org). What often happens, is that people can't bless
the
System Folder, is there any way to force the a specific folder to be blessed
from
outside the MacOS.
Well, I'm not sure what problems you might be having blessing a system folder: if you've successfully un-blessed any existing system folder (by moving the Finder into some subfolder, for instance) just opening the intended new system folder should take care of the blessing.
I don't know what means you have at your disposal "from outside the MacOS" but the Blessed Folder is recorded by a DirectoryID stored in the first longword of the volume's Finder Info, which is 92 (decimal, 5C hex) bytes into the volume's master directory block (block 2, third 512-byte block on the disk). You could always write the DirectoryID of your favorite folder there...
Hope that helps, -Pat Dirks.
