Civ Hack Power Mac

CivHackPowerMac-1.0 is "CivHackPCI" renamed to more accurately describe its function now that System 7.5.3 has been found to contain the same incompatability which prevented Microprose Civilization from running on macintoshes running System 7.5.2. All Power Macintoshes have been experiencing trouble running Civilization under the latest OS release. Specifically, CivHackPowerMac is a tiny system extension which prevents Microprose's Macintosh Civilization game from crashing with a type 11 error at the opening menu on PowerPC macintoshes running System 7.5.2 or 7.5.3. This extension has been in use by the general public since 2/96 and no one has reported any System conflicts to my knowledge. The extension itself patches an incompatability between Civilization and Quickdraw in Systems 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 that resulted in this crash. This file does not seem to be required for 68k (non-PowerPC) macintoshes to run Civilization. This file is a binhexed stuffit archive containing a System extension which may be installed by dragging it onto your System Folder and restarting your machine. There is also a short README file. This extension was written by Gavriel State, . I was asked to post it by the author. Ian Ollmann
