Sorry for wasting the bandwidth with that previous post which (lets be honest) rags on Apple for not making APDA free over usenet. Matt, Dave, Apple, my sincerest apologies. After reading the next-most-recent (red) APDAlog I see that it is APDA that I am actually after. The GS/OS ref vol 1 is supposed to document FST's (yay!) so I have been jumping the gun and asking for something which is only an APDA membership away.

Before you get -too- happy, let me guarantee you that the GS/OS Reference does -not- tell you how to -write- FSTs. It "documents" them only in the sense that it give you a lot of details about what the existing ones do (for example, what happens when several users try to open the same file on AppleShare using class 0 calls?) and how to make the various FST-specific calls. The discussion of a couple weeks ago is not obsolete--for the forseeable future, FSTs come from Apple. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
