Now if I could only explain the utility of UseNet to my boss in terms
as simple as these, our company would probably have a full time
internet connection within a week! Unfortunately, bossy doesn't know
anything about patching.

More to the point, if you're worried about the legitimacy of this
information, I've heard it from at least two core members of the System 7
team (Blue Meanies), Dean Yu and Greg Marriott. Dean's on the net all
the time, and Greg is sometimes here, as well, although I am familiar
with him mostly through America Online.

Anyway, Dean actually can narrow it down to one trap you shouldn't tail
patch because you'll screw up a come-from patch Apple couldn't remove in
the newly-standard way. I'm not sure, but if I were up against a wall
on the wrong side of a firing squad, I'd probably guess it's FrontWindow.

Could someone send me some sample code for doing smooth color

accelerated/non-accelerated video cards out there?

Or some discussion/archived c.s.m.p posts?

I've seen so much of this in the past, but since my work never required

Now I feel stupid for not saving them.

figure out
what the name of the Mac I am running on is.

I have looked, and looked, and looked.... Surely there is a dead simple

The book "Programming with AppleTalk" from Addison-Wesley (and
written by me) has a complete RDEV/INIT example.  This is a
Chooser interface (the RDEV part) as well as an INIT that
installs some code into the system heap (to listen to an
AppleTalk socket).

If I want to do is get a "snapshot" of the modifiers, I call _OSEventAvail
with an event mask of zero.  This seems to me to have the lowest overhead
(no context-switching, etc.)

David, in C, a function name ONLY evaluates to the address of that
function.  I.e., LaunchResponse gives an address but LaunchResponse()
calls the function.  Taking the address of functions (&LaunchResponse)
and of arrays (&char_array) doesn't really mean anything in C since
these to names evaluate to an address/offset anyway.

Your code should simply be:  reminder->notify.nmResp = LaunchResponse;

Hope this helps.

The driver for the hard drive is stored on a partition on the hard drive.
It gets loaded when the Mac is first powered on (before the shining face
appears) regardless of whether you actually boot off that drive.  The
mac ROM loads the driver code and blindly jumps to it: THIS CODE COULD
THEORETICALLY DO ANYTHING.  Thus it is technically possible to 
have a virus which resides in the driver partition of your hardr
drive; however, I have never heard of such a beast.

Incidentally, if you screw up the driver on your internal disk (not
that I have ever, say, done this), you are confronted with a machine
that crashes 5 seconds after you turn it on no matter what you do.
All this from software!  I had to pop the case on my machine, unplug
the drive cable from the motherboard, reboot the machine, plug the 
cable back in while the power was up, and then reformat the drive.

I take this disclaimer too!  Does Think C automatically exclude functions
which are not called when linking the final object?  (Please tell
me it does -- why have a 27k ANSI library when you just want sprintf()?)

Enough of that.  I know it doesn't currently label variables
during disassembly (this would be a BIG plus...I suppose you'd have
to use things like "offsetof(theStruct, element)", and if you're on
that track, howzabout "sizeof(theStruct)" when doing struct calculations?

Also, how about having the compiler keep track of which variable/pointer
is in which register?  I've seen generated code do this:

lea		myVariable,A0
move.w	#0x04,D0
muls.w	#0x0304,D0
add.w	D0,A0
move.l	(A0),D1
lea		myVariable,A0	/* note the redundance -- the correct address */
move.w	#0x04,D0		/* is already in A0 */
muls.w	#0x0304,D0
add.w	D0,A0
move.l	0x04(A0),D1
lea		myVariable,A0
move.w	#0x04,D0
muls.w	#0x0304,D0
add.w	D0,A0
move.l	0x08(A0),D1

Which could be optimized to:
lea		myVariable,A0
move.w	#0x04,D0
muls.w	#0x0304,D0
add.w	D0,A0
move.l	(A0),D1
move.l	0x04(A0),D1
move.l	0x08(A0),D1

or even:
lea		myVariable,A0
move.w	#0x04,D0
muls.w	#0x0304,D0
add.w	D0,A0
move.l	(A0)+,D1
move.l	(A0)+,D1
move.l	(A0)+,D1

This usually occurs when using lots of struct elements...(particularly
arrays of structs)...

(and how about "DBF" command support during loop optimization?)

Hello all.

I've just used ResEdit 2.1 to create a resource file for my application.
It has a single BNDL resource with a single file type (APPL) which I 
gave icons.  After rebuilding my Desktop, the application appears with
it's new icon in it's folder, and with it's correct small icon in the 
Apple Menu.  But when I launch the application it's icon is not displayed
correctly on the right-hand side of the menu bar or in the pull-down
menu below.  Instead, I get the generic application icon.

I also just got the shareware program _Launch, and it too cannot seem to 
find my application's new icon.

Any ideas?

-Scott

P.S.  Why did Apple change the desktop file to a pair of data-only files
in System 7?  I can't use ResEdit anymore to see if my icons are correctly
loaded in the desktop file.

The order is OK, the addressDesc is already copied in AECreateAppleEvent.
The problem is that targetID is not set up properly since the location

OR

You can go get MPW C which handles large code and data spaces without
the same limitations as THINK C. You get a slower compiler though, but
lots of other good stuff.

 Is there a way to store windows efficiently? If we use

  GetNewWindows(RESOURCE,NULL,WINDOW_LOCATION) ;

the window would be stored as non-relocateable. Is there anyway we can
use handles to store the window data?

As somebody said before, it's a bit like finding a needle in a hayStack.

I'd like to customize the System 7 Finder on my system.  I've already
discovered the 'itbl' resource in the System file, so now my aliases
are drawn in underline mode.  Now I'd like to make the file name field
wider.  I tend to use long file names that are always getting truncated, 
so I've got four or five entries that all begin the same and end with 
that annoying elipsis.

Is there a resource in the System 7 Finder that controls the layout?
(It doesn't contain a LAYO resource like the System 6 version.)

Thanks!
John
