Another thought is that there is a bug in 6.0.7 that was fixed in 7.0, that  
being that if you resize/offset a GWorld under 7.0, the clipRgn & visRgn get  
resized/offseted along with it. Under 6.0.7 one of them (I forget which), does  
not.  Big headache!

Doesn't help. Most INITs do their work by patching Traps. Under a MultiFinder
like environment, which is becoming more and more common, it is already
impossible to patch a trap for all applications in a portable way (or am I
mistaken about that ?). When it comes to removing trap patches, things get even
more ugly.

No toolbox call exists (I think it should), but I typed all of the error codes
into a TEXT resource (sorry, it's all in one big resource) and packaged
it up in the "Report Error" package that appears on a number of the recent
Developer Essential CDs.  It might also exist on ftp.apple.com; I'm not
sure.  If necessary, I can bundle it up, binhex it and mail it, but I've
been pretty busy lately...

Oh, "Report Error" is only designed to be used as a debugging tool; I made
no effort to make the messages end-user-comprehensible.

Well I know the SIMM sockets only except 256kb and  1Mb SIMM's, so maximum
is 4Mb regular. But the address space of the MC68000 processor is 16Mbytes,
partly this is occupied by memory and other peripherals. I have experience
with this hardware as i made a memory extention board to extend my 512KE to
4Mbyte and you can add a memory expansion board to the processor rather
simply. This board would for example insert 2 megB of RAM between address
6meg and 8meg.

So now the problem again what must i do to let the Mac+ use it?

Somebody suggested something like patching some kind of free memory structure
to fake the system into believing it got 8megByte of memory with a non
relocatable block between 4meg and 6meg ( where the ROM's and SCSI are located)

I think it is possible (in hardware) to extend the memory configuration of a
Mac+ to 7,5 megB.

As you can see I am a hardware person and not to deep into software so please
help me out.

Thanks again

I'd prefer KUKL which is basically The Sugarcubes setup before they 
started to do only pop music. But this has nothing to do with Mac's, so 
we should probably move to alt.music.alternative ;-)

Here's what I've reverse engineered:
An icon family handle is a handle to an array of 10 handles, each of which contains one
of the various icon resources.  (I only know of 6 family members... Maybe Apple's coming out
with 24x24 icons?  icm#'s?) Leave as NIL any members that your family doesn't contain.
Since notification only uses the small icons, only three of the fields are worth filling in.
(Yes, I suppose this might change with a future version of the notification mgr, maybe that
displays a larger icon in the notification dialog, or on systems that have really tall menu
bars).
I don't recall what goes where with the larger icons, but for the ics-'s:
			h[4] = GetResource('ics#', which);
			h[5] = GetResource('ics4', which);
			h[6] = GetResource('ics8', which);
(This is C, with a zero-based array).
Usual disclaimers apply.  Apple probably had some reason for not documenting the icon
family handle to which I am not privy, but this is what works right now.  You probably
shouldn't try this using 6.0.x or in the presence of small children, housepets, or persons
with weak hearts.

Jos sinulla on (sorry, back from Finnish to English mode), if you got
a Quadra, then depending on the debugger patches in Think C 5.0 it's a 
problem related to the sudden use of the F-line vector for Omega-SANE
use (for trig functions missing in the built-in FPU). It's fixed with
later patches for Think C, and SADE, and SourceBug, and ...

If this is not a Quadra, then you got problems!

Hi once again netters.  While in the process of writting my graphing program, I
was browsing through ResEdit setting up some of my menus.  For my "Styles"
menu, I want to be able to support the standard QD text styles PLUS Double
Underline and Strikethrough!! However, as you may well know, these styles are
not in ResEdit for me to put them in the menu, nor can I find info on how to
implement these styles.  Some Word Processing programs (MS Word, WordPerfect,
etc.) have these in the menu and so do some drawing programs (SuperPaint). 
Does anyone know where I can find info on 1) how do display this in my style
menu (do I have to write my own MDEF [man I hope not, could someone supply with
this if that's what is necessary] ) and 2) how to implement these extra styles
in my program.

Thanks in advance...

Here are a couple "trivial" thoughts about this...Be sure that you're using
'sope' as the event ID, and not 'SOPE'.  The Apple Event Manager is case
sensitive, even though you're using a non-case sensitive language.

The second trivial thought deals with what you're trying to open.  If you're
trying to open an application, dump the Apple Event approact and go with the
Process Manager's LaunchApplication routine.  It's much more straightforward.

Hope this helps somewhat...
