(I refuse to call my Lisa a 'Macintosh XL'!) Following in the next 4 articles are the source codes for an example program called FILE, written by Cary Clark of Macintosh Technical Support. Those of you with the Lisa Pascal Workshop will already have this. I'm sending it to give an example of the use of many of the Inside Mac procedures. This program has been invaluable to me in helping me to learn how to write applications on the Lisa, and to understand Mac programming in general. There are four items - File.src, which is the Lisa Pascal source (this is about 1950 lines long), File.rsrc, which is the resource file listing, which gives a good explaination of how to use DLOG, WIND, ICON, STR, etc., File.asm, which has two assembly procedures called from the pascal source, and finally, the binhex'ed version of the compiled FILE. Many of us who have Lisa's have written some things we could upload to the net - this is a plea for those who have Lisa's to do so. Since I'm not a software type, examples are worth all the textbooks in the world, especially on this machine. Tom Buckley AT&T Information Systems (303) 538-3442 ihnp4!drutx!trb
