[net.micro.mac] Accessing patterns?

rehak@siemens.UUCP (01/14/86)

I'm trying to get patterns from the standard system pattern list (not the 5
fill shades, but the 38 ones used in MacPaint) in a Megamax C program.
There is a nice function to do this in Pascal called 'GetIndPattern' but it
doesn't seem to exist in C.  These patterns are in a list in the system
resource file of type 'PAT#' - does anyone know how to access them
individually?  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks - Alex Rehak
