Is the resource TRAP of the LSC application under copyright ?
If not, is it possible to know how I retrieve the corresponding Axxx value of
a given trap name ?
(I wrote a disasembler in my application, and I implement a "Find Trap"
command. But I have two problems :
- My search algorithm is not very fast (sequential search).
- Some traps (the recent ones) are not in my tables.
).
Thinks for any proposition.

It's not copyrighted, but since it's an internal of the TLSC program, its format is (a) undocumented, (b) subject to change, and (c) proprietary. >(I wrote a disasembler in my application, and I implement a "Find Trap" >command.

The MPW 3.0 interfaces (which, I believe, are separately available thru APDA) contain the definitive trap list. --Rich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer Symantec Corporation, Language Products Group Internet: siegel@endor.harvard.edu UUCP: ..harvard!endor!siegel I classify myself as a real developer because my desk is hip-deep in assembly-language listings and I spend more than 50% of my time in TMON. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
