The "year" part is not checked either, so you could say something like "Copyright IS NOT BY Apple Computer, Inc." and things will work fine.
Thinking about this again after some sleep, can we keep this as two separate patches i.e. one for the adler32 and one for the copyright?
Yes please.
One of the things Alex mentioned yesterday was whether or not the copyright patch would affect BootX or not, and so I'd like to see something along the lines of "Tested on both OS 9 and BootX" included in the commit message. Did you manage to test the 2 patches on any other OSs at all?
The same holds for other changes for OS9, e.g. the RTAS things. That stuff can potentially break Linux as well, oh joy.
