Hey NetLanders, I'm looking for source code of any Desk Accessory that has been written in Lightspeed C! I have obtained Earle R. Horton's SerialPrint DA (nice!). I especially would like the source code for any type of Clock DA or neat graphics DA's (maybe like, INSECT) written in LSC. Basically, I am having trouble writting my own small Watch DA (like, Megamax C's Clock DA) and would like to see the ways that other programmer's do it but using the LSC package. Maybe it's me but I find that interface to the system (i.e. through main(p,d,n) cntrlParam *p; DCtlPtr d; int n;) rather different to handle. Oh Well, please e-mail me any source code or a pointer to where on sumex or simtel I can ftp 'em. Thanks, -- The Druid =============================================================================== = The Druid (dredick@bbn.com) = = "Did you ever feel that you were a typewriter, = = when everone else in the world was a wordprocessor" = ===============================================================================

A while ago I sent a generic LSC DA to SUMEX. Its still in the archive, under
the name DA-LSC-GENERIC.HQX. It does about one of everythig a generic DA can
do...
Hope this helps..

I mailed the source and binaries for my Mandelbrot DA about a month ago. This DA features background processing, a window, a menu and a dialog box. It also has a goodbye kiss procedure. I don't think that I've left out anything that a normal DA might do. The code is fairly well documented because I originally intended to write an article for MacTutor. (In fact, I think I have more comments in the source than the standard MacTutor article, but I haven't written even a "README" file...) I would like to know why large things like the esperanto stack, nethack, RISK and some other really large stuff gets posted while small programs have to wait for months. I'd like to hear from the moderator, if he hasn't gotten my mail. (Try routing your mail through bitnet hosts...it's a lot faster than usenet mail.) The program is totally free, but it has the same restrictions that GNU software has. You have to make sure the user knows of all the modifications that you have done. How about making votes on what stuff gets posted? The moderator could make monthly lists of what he has gotten and send the most wanted stuff first.

Large binaries are interesting but examplative sources are much more interesting (and often shorter). I don't know what's happening in comp.sources.mac, but the flow of articles there is ridiculously small (e.g. one for the whole january and nothing for february !). Is the moderator (i.e. Roger Long ?) on holidays, ill or mysteriously moderated ? Or maybe is he overloaded as he has to manage comp.binaries.mac and comp.sources.mac [if he is, why not split that work among 2 people?] ? Yves Bernard.
