Trying to launch a Classic application on MacOS 7.0, we get the message "Cannot start application. Cannot find Unicode Converter." Is it possible to obtain whatever it is the System is actually looking for? Or can the System be faked out on this issue? It is a graphics application; I don't really care about text issues.
Unicode was introduced to the Mac OS in a version of Mac OS 8 if my faulty memory recalls correctly. It will be a system extension more than likely but also more than likely NOT called "Unicode Converter".
If you can figure out what library file to use, you can put a copy into the extensions folder on your System 7 machine and see what happens when you start your application.
But I suspect that your system will simply crash if you try this. It nay not even boot.

Thanks Gary. I haven't been able to identify the extension so far, but I'm plugging away at it.
On my 9.2.1 system the file is called "Text Encoding Converter" in the Extensions folder. I don't have an older sysem running right now to look for something under a different name.
