maintenance release

Hacienda Heights, California (July 23, 2000) –

Bleu Rose Ltd. announces the release of Black & Bleu(tm) and Black &
Bleu/PRO v2.1 maintenance release

Black and Bleu(tm) is an application that lists 4,384 Macintosh OS error
codes with Apple’s cryptic explanation of each. Black & Bleu enhances
Apple’s explanation of these Mac OS error codes by providing less cryptic
and more useful detailed explanations and remedies for many of these
errors. It takes the mystery out of error codes with explanations in plain
English. This is the most comprehensive list of Mac OS errors currently
available anywhere.

v2.1 is a minor update with no new features.

New customers or ones upgrading from version 1.n of Black & Bleu(tm) will
enjoy the following features of Black & Bleu v2.1:

* 4,384 error codes
* Many more detailed explanations
* Annotate our explanations with your own text
* Hexadecimal error codes
* Error codes sorted numerically
* Error code listing by group, number and name
* Full text search 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

(USD); CDROM version, $41.00 (USD) including shipping charges & applicable
taxes. This special pricing is only available if purchased directly from

The “PRO” form offers the same features as the Standard version but differs
from the Standard version in one important way. The “PRO” version allows
you to export the detailed explanations to a file. This feature allows
Technical Professionals to pass the information on to others – something
not permitted by the terms of the standard version. The software license
reflects this ability as well.
