Bleu Rose Updates Black & Bleu
Bleu Rose has updated their error analysis app called Black & Bleu to version 1.1. The new version includes several new features. According to Bleu Rose:

Bleu Rose Ltd. today announced the release of Black & Bleu Version 1.1, an application that shows Apple's explanation of all of the common and most of the unusual Macintosh OS error codes. Black & Bleu(tm) now contains about 3000 error codes. Many have detailed explanations and remedies
available.

This update provides:

  • Enhancement of all "User Oriented" detailed explanations with additional information
  • Addition of a way to distinguish between error codes that use the same number.
  • Addition of the name of the system component that is associated with the error (such as QuickTime).
  • Addition of a way to list only those errors that are associated with a specific system component.
  • Over 400 new error codes.
  • Many more detailed explanations.

A free error analysis by one of our experienced developers is available for errors that don't have a detailed explanation. This service is available to anyone, at no charge, even if you haven't purchased Black & Bleu(tm).

Explanations give users detailed information in 2 categories:

  • a Non-technical User orientation
  • a Programmer orientation

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++).

System Requirements
Mac OS 7.0 or later
1.7 MB of disk space
0.8 MB of RAM
