by Staff
Bleu Rose Ltd. has updated the Mac error code translation software, Black and Bleu, to version 1.2. Black and Bleu allows users to get some "plain English" translations for the cryptic error codes that the Mac OS often produces. According to Bleu Rose:
Black and Bleu(tm) is an application that lists 3,340 Macintosh OS error codes with Apple's cryptic explanation included. Detailed explanations and suggestions for what you can do about many of these errors. This is the most comprehensive list of Mac OS errors currently available anywhere.
Some other features of Black & Bleu v1.2 are:
Error code listing by group, by number and by name.
Distinguish between error names with the same number.
Search the error database for words, phrases or numbers.
Sad Mac codes and explanations.
Free analysis of errors that don't have a detailed explanation.
Simple to use interface.
The Non-technical User explanation is presented in a way that someone without a programming background can understand. The Programmer explanation is written in VERY technical terms that usually includes source code that demonstrates the error. To fully understand the Programmer explanation, the user should be familiar with Macintosh programming (in C or C++).
Users who upgrade from v1.1 or v1.1.1 will enjoy the following additions:
Many more detailed explanations.
Addition of Sad Mac codes and explanations.
