Mac X/ 2.0.8 patch question

[Johan K]

If you delete the dominions app, copy it from the CD again and then run it without applying the patch. Does it work then?

Yes. Installing as 2.02 always succeeds. Then after copying patch items back in... no effect. Also, I don't see the show package contents option until after command-clicking the .app file. (Maybe include that in the explanations?) Interestingly, after running the Unix executable my screen res in-game drops back to 640*480 (which looks bloody awful on this screen)...

BTW on my previous post this thread, I was in fact ready to send off the first half of the message, and on a total fluke hit the events of the second half while considering possible re-wordings.
And what would the Unix executable need the GUI image (the game's GUI image besides) for anyway? Was the fact it was requested causing me to ask the Wrong Question? Judging by what I've run into so far, I've caught so many red herrings I could probably make the purchase price back if I pickled them...

Just in the past few minutes I was poking around in the package contents (which I hadn't known how to get to until Last night ) and noticed a section marked Resources and saw the patch files and thought "hey, those look like the same kind files...". A few replaced their older Versions, a few were new (army8.trs for one). Still nothing.
Then I noticed where the UNIX executable in the package was hiding.
Replaced it . Computer asked for my password since normally it's write protected.
(beat: crossed fingers...)

BINGO! Patching successful!!!
