WRONG WRONG WRONG. Should say "unsigned char * inString" and
not Str255 inString, since you're passing a reference to an
array.

	   StringHandle	textHandle;

	   textHandle = GetString( 128 );

	   if (textHandle == nil) {
		   SysBeep(20);
		   ExitToShell();
	   }

Most users wouldn't like that kind of error handling...

   /* WHAT DO I DO NOW??????? */

A lot of things. The most kosher thing, which works for
all systems >= 6.0 in all countries, is:

	HLock ( ( Handle ) textHandle ) ;
	ret = ! IUEqualString ( * textHandle , inString ) ; // Note the ! !!
	ReleaseResource ( ( Handle ) textHandle ) ;

	return ret ;
   }


This will return 0 for unequal strings, and 1 for equal strings,
it will consider diacritical marks for countries such as Sweden,
but will not compare case. (i.e. 'a' == 'A')

Okay, I'm feeling frustrated and dumb.  Look at this:

/* ----------------------------------------------------- */

extern void MyFunction(char);

void MyFunction(theChar)
char theChar;
{
     /* do stuff */
}

/* ---------------------------------------------------- */

Actually, the function prototype is getting pulled in from a #include file,
and the "extern" doesn't really matter much (i.e. it still doesn't work even
if I leave it out).  The problem seems to center around the use of the
"char" data type-- it works with int's, long's, mother's-maiden-names, etc.,
but not for char's.

So, what gives?

Why don't you just send an 'odoc' directly to that application.

If the problem is that the application is not open, then lanuch the application

I have written an extension/Control Panel and would, of course, like
for its little icon to march along the bottom of the screen at
startup time (user-configurable, of course!).  I know that there is
some 'standard' code around by Paul Mercer (?) called ShowINIT that
does this.  I snagged a copy of that out of Macintosh Programming
Primer volume 2, and hacked it a little so that it will display an
icl4 or icl8 icon on color screens, depending on their depth.
However, this code seems to assume that all of a user's icons will fit
in one row, which they don't always.

Is there a version of ShowINIT around that properly handles multiple
rows and color icons?  If so, where can I get my grubby paws on a copy?

You are correct.  FSMakeFSSpec returns an fnfErr (file not found, -43) in this
case.  It also creates the FSSpec record for you.  Since you are performing a
Save As..., check for this return value to warn the user about overwriting an
existing file.  If they proceed with the overwrite, use the FSSpec in good

You may want to change this to:

if (StackSpace() < STACK_MIN)
    SetApplLimit(StackPtr() - (STACK_MIN - StackSpace()))

This will make sure that you don't waste too much memory on "Large"
machines.  (StackSpace is a standard Toolbox trap.)  Also, some 
development envrionments automatically call SetApplLimit as part of 
the normal application startup.  For example, THINK Pascal calls 
SetApplLimit to allocate the amount of stack space you specified under 
your Run Options.  Check your development environment documentation to 
see if it provides this kind of support.

Howdy,

Can anybody tell me whether the HFS High-level calls in Inside Macintosh
Vol 6 noted as being equivalent to HFS low-level calls in Inside
Macintosh Vol 4 ARE, IN FACT simply glue to HFS low-level traps, or are
they specific to System 7, i.e., traps themselves?  I noticed that
MacApp 3.0's TFile class uses these HOpenDF etc. without checking for
System 7 or File Manager Gestalt.  TFile does check for Alias manager
using Gestalt, to filter out whether it will do certain FSp, Finder and
Alias Manager calls, but it doesn't filter on the H calls.  I am
compelled to assume it is safe to use H calls documented in Inside
Macintosh vol 6 provided I have the correct include files, and the
correct linker glue?  Am I just stupid and I didn't find the sentence in
Inside Macintosh Vol 6 that explains that I can call the HFS High-level
calls (HRename, HOpenDF etc.) as long as HFS is present? These are the
ones that accept dirIDs, instead of continuing to use FSOpen etc with
working directories, and I am NOT talking about the FSp calls that
require System 7 obviously.  Somebody set me straight.  Thanks,

Organization: Hughes Aircraft Co., Carlsbad, CA

The "knapsack" problem is close; but a perfect fit of your problem
is the VLSI problem called "2-D placement" or "bin packing".

Many algorithms have been published.  There are approaches that
use optimization techniques, such as "greedy algorithms", "genetic
algorithms", "spin-glass" (this one looked excellent but difficult),
"simulated annealing", etc.  There have also been heuristic rule-based
systems, straight algorithms, etc.

The best source for info is probably the conference proceedings for
the "Design Automation Conference" (DAC), published annually.  Also try
the journal called "VLSI".  Or ask a local VLSI CAD expert for some
good references.

If you end up writing your own algorithm, here are a couple of tips:
1. Place larger blocks first
2. Try to find groups of 2 or more blocks which have a common width
   or length and line them up -- this is very efficient.  
3. Allow for switching things around randomly, to try different possibilities.
4. Watch out for getting stuck in "local minima" if using #3.

Good luck!

Sorry for the confusion there. Yes, "theDialog" should be a DialogPtr. Scott I
and didn't want to waste pages and pages going into excrutiating detail on
everything, so we left a few out in some places. Missing declarations whose
types are obvious are such a place. In this case, you know that "theDialog" is a
DialogPtr because that's what the Dialogs.h files says DialogSelect() takes as
the second parameter.

Has anyone purchased and used the PE (Programmer's Editor) Package?  If
so, could you post a review?  I'd appreciate it very much.

Anyone know of such beasts?  I would really like to have a tool which will
debinhex a whole bunch of stuff "batch style", but I haven't heard of any
such tool(s).

Thanks,
