For Immediate Release
Bleu Rose Ltd. Announces Black & Bleu(tm) and Black & Bleu/PRO Version 3.0
Hacienda Heights, California (January 15, 2001) –
Bleu Rose Ltd. announces the release of Black & Bleu(tm) and Black &
Bleu/PRO v3.0
Black and Bleu(tm) is an application that lists 5,045 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.
v3.0 adds the following features:
* 661 new error codes
* 31 more error groups (for a total of 185)
* Many more detailed explanations
* Search your Annotations as a separate option
* Error names can be copied to the clipboard
* Detailed explanations can be viewed using the full size of your
monitor
* Help provided for finding missing libraries
* Black & Bleu will now run when the startup disk is a CDROM
* A “runtime library” allowing Developers to include the error database
into their own applications.
Black & Bleu v3.0 feature list
* 5,045 error codes
* Add your own notes to the error explanations
* Error code listing by group, number and name
* Full text search for words or phrases

User orientation
Developer orientation

Black & Bleu/PRO
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.
