Sparkplug problem...

Sorry to be a newbie but I can't get sparkplug to work. When I put the Tools01.adf file in a drive (in either Red Squirrel or Arculator) I get a sparkplug icon but when I click it I get an error message stating "System resources cannot be found".

Can somebody please put me out of my misery by letting me know what I'm doing wrong?

I've even tried running a sparkplug self executing file on a rom drive but after it uncompressed itself I got left with the same sparkplug icon as is on the tools disk which produced the same error message when double clicked...

Re: Sparkplug problem...

Never mind, found the answer somewhere else. In case anyone else is having the same problem just follow the instructions below:

You have to patch the !Run file in Sparkplug...

- Hold Shift key and double klick on !SparkPlug -> opens app directory
- Hold Shift key and double klick !Run file -> opens it in editor
- comment out the following line with a '|':

if "" = "" then Error 0 System resources cannot be found

should become:

|if "" = "" then Error 0 System resources cannot be found

Easy when you know how...
