These two simple programs, written
while I was working for ASAE, S.C. a mexican company specialized
in educational software allow to automatically translate an original
copy of Number or Fraction Munchers into Spanish. Both installers
really just replace all the resources that contain English text,
like menus, dialogs and controls, with Spanish text resources. However,
these products proved very useful since they allowed many Mexican
children to use these great titles, published by MECC, previously
only available in English.
Using the same method, I tried to translate a third Muncher program, Super Munchers.
In order to support accents I had to modify the program's code. Since the program was originally
written in C, this proved to be quite easy. Optimizing one routine in assembly language allowed
me to save enough bytes to stuff a small patch that could do the job. However a major problem
remained since the font used by SuperMunchers did not include accents. I was able to solve this
problem too on my machine but then the installer did only work properly on a reduced number of
Macintosh models. Since I was quite busy I never found time to try to debug the code and the
installer for Super Munchers was never released. Too bad...
Since I was working for ASAE, S.C. at the time I developed these products I cannot distribute
them. However, if you are interested I can put you in contact with that company.
