[net.micro.mac] Batch processing on Mac

ee163ahe@sdcc13.UUCP (VICTOR ROMANO) (03/03/85)

	Does anyone out there know how to post more than 19 events on
	the event queue on the Macintosh?  I'm particularly interested
	in creating a batch-like processor.  Even better:  does anyone
	know of some sort of batch facility on the Macintosh?  Thanks.

Using the OS Event Manager you should be able to post 30 events on the queue.

First call   FlushEvents(eventMask,stopMask:integer)    to clear the queue.

Then do 30 PostEvent(eventCode:integer;  eventMsg:longint): OSErr

That should do it.  If you wanted more that 30 events, you could probably
store them in your own queue and then when space permitted, post them to
the event queue.
