04.008 Is it possible to run PaintWorks from hard disk? Will it load files from an HFS partition?

         The Kzin Warrior published a block edit patch version in Computist #73
which lets you do this, at least on a ROM-01 GS. Using ProSel's Zap utility
(also called "Block Warden") you search for $C9 08 00 D0 CE on the PaintWorks
Gold diskette or a copy.  (I found these bytes in Block $3D5 starting at byte
$1DF.)  Change the 08 to 7F and save the change.

     Copy Paintworks.Gold and the PaintTools folder (with its contents) to a
folder on your hard disk.

     The Patch allows you to to start PWG under System 6 and use most PWG
features. However, some Palette selection options will bomb the program.

     A few tests showed PWG will load files from an HFS partition.
