I just spent a minute touring through the Think C ANSI library source. [I was
thinking perhaps sscanf() might call atof(), which would be a "primitive".]

Well, atof() calls strtod(), which in turn calls __vsscanf(). This one calls
the root-level routine __vfscanf(). Unfortunately, that routine, the heart of
scanf(), uses globals to save a bit-vector of any scan-set specified, as well
as a default conversion flag struct. Oh well...

You want to read 
   "learning to drive"
   "print record spy"

available on better CD's, or at  ftp.apple.com/dts/mac/docs/printing/

Of course, you have ignored the possibility that the printer is not
pollable because a printer manager is interfacing it, and this is a problem
that there is no general solution for.

Also, your code will likely be version-specific, and maybe even
site-specific, when you are done writeing it, so if it is not for personal
use, you will need to provide your users with a high degree of support,
especially when the new printing architechture comes out (soon please
apple?).

Subject: Main event loop and OOP
Organization: Clemson University Computer Science Dept.
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 21:13:44 GMT

  I am fairly new to the world of OOP.  I have written a small graph
drawing application for the Mac and got a good, well semi-adequate,
grasp of how it works.  However, this program only did something when
I selected a menu option or clicked the mouse and such like.

  Now I want to write an application (a simulation) that will process
and update information, stored as objects in a linked list, constantly.
If I were writing it in a procedural language I would process and
update the information each time I went through the main event loop
and called GetNextEvent.  However, GetNextEvent seems to be buried
deep in the TCL and I would rather not mess with it unless I have to.
I was wondering if I should be using the CChore class to install the
process/update routine?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Under System 7, the simple C program

#include <Finder.h>

void main(void)
{
    short err, refNum;

    err = FindFolder(kOnSystemDisk, 'myty', kCreateFolder, &refNum, &ID);
}

will create a typed folder like the Apple Menu Items, Control Panels,

System Folder. It does this provided a folder of type "myty" is defined in the
resource of type "fld#" (ID = 0) in the System file given a name, e.g. "My Typed

The icons for the other typed folders can be found in the SystemUs "ICN#"

you might want to ask the Post Office for a copy of U.S. Postal
Service Publication 25 -- which details the positioning guidelines
associated with proper barcode placement -- before you take this
idea any further.

In short, your window is going to have to be very big.  The bar
code must be less than 1/2" from the bottom edge of the envelope,
and the FIM code cannot be more than 3/16" from the top edge of
the envelope.

How to print a GIF file in color?

Try getting deBabelizer from Equilibrium software.  It's not
free/shareware (in fact it's not real cheap) but it is unquestionably the
"swiss army knife" of Mac graphics programs.  IT reads and writes a
unbelievable amount of different graphic file formats, does all kinds of
incredible palette manipulations, has scripting and batch processing, can
use Photoshop plug-ins and a whole host of other things, including
excellent color printing for all color graphic formats supported!!!

I don't know how you are transferring the files, but if you are using ftp,
you must set binary mode before sending the file. At the ftp prompt, type
'bin' before you do the get or put.

Also, make sure the file is in WP 5.0 format. Your WP on the MAC should be
able to convert it to either 1.0 or 2.0.

That should fix your problem.

Yes, I use a program called FileList+ by Erny Tontlinger/Bill Patterson.  It
is fantastic.  It will scan any volume, inlcuding floppies.  And when
scanning multiple floppies, it will even eject them for you!  As well, you
may sort the gathered data by filename, or volume, or fileType, etc.

Now that you know this program is so great, I hope you can find it!  (It
should be available on various boards and it is Free)

The post office is getting more flexible on where the barcode
can be placed.  You need to be aware that the bar code is not simply
a "character" replacement for the zip code.  There's a bar on each end
and a check "character"/group to validate the bar code.
Anyway, it's best to check with the post office as to whether what
your planning is going to work.
