I am posting in net.sources.mac the latest version of Simpletools.
I received the new version 1.3 from Erik Kilk (the author) who asked
me to post it. This version runs under Megamax C. I have not tested
it.
I got a letter from Erik saying that the problems with locking handles
I experienced with the Lightspeed C compiler do not apply to the Megamax
version. The compilers handle dereferencing differently.
Erik has included several new routines in the Megamax C version: getfile(),
putfile() and havenewrom(). Their use is described in the comments, and
they are HFS compatible. He warns in his letter to me that he has not
been able to check the routine havenewrom() in a non-upgraded Mac, so
beware (his words). He has also included a header file, simple.h, for
use by your application.
I suspect that his new routine putfile() should begin
char *reply;
instead of
sfreply *reply;
but as I am no longer using Megamax C I could not make the change and
test it.
The manual is not part of this posting. It is identical to the
version posted earlier with the Lightspeed C version.
