[net.micro.mac] Journaling

milo@ndmath.uucp (Greg Corson) (08/25/86)

I am looking for some information on how to use the journaling feature of the
event manager.  I have already read the section on journaling in the latest
version of inside Mac, but it does not explain how the playback mode works
clearly enough.

When in record mode the event records are passed to the journaling driver for
storage...that's simple enough.  In playback mode the event manager calls the
journaling driver which is supposed to return the event record.

My question is this...do you have to do any preprocessing of the event record
before you hand it back to the event manager?  The time each event occured is
stored in the event record...do you have to edit that time value so it 
reflects the current time of day or does the event manager handle that for you?

If anybody has source code of a journaling driver they could send me it would
be very helpful...the information on journaling is very thin, I haven't been
able to find information about it anywhere besides Inside Mac.

Thanks in advance for the help

I am (still) in need of some code for the macintosh that illustrates how to
write a journaling driver.  The information in inside macintosh is very sketchy
and doesn't help me much.   Code for any type of application that uses the
journal mechanism would be very helpful.
