Save A BNDL by Michael Engber

I discovered this app via the Macworld System 7 book. I had asked about this very thing a while back, wondering if it was even possible. Low and behold, there already existed a utility.

The problem I kept running into is that System 7 would update all my StuffIt icons to the OS 9 style icons because there was a newer version on one of my archive disks. I hate seeing crappy renderings of OS 9 icons on my System 7. So I was wondering if there was a way to force the Mac to continue using the older icons. Well, Save A BNDL does exactly that. You just drag & drop whatever App you want, and it'll update the DB file with that version of the BNDL.

Now all my StuffIt icons are period appropriate again. 🙂 This had been bugging the hell out of me for at least a couple years.

Turns out it was on Gryphel, so that was an easy download.
