I am planning to write a small piece of code to save information about which Macintosh applications has been run and at what time. The information must be saved in a textfile, and should not loose information when a bomb occurs, so the file must be opened and closed each time the user changes program. To be able to get the information, the code will have to run in the background, and therefore be placed in the system heap, and could be an Init or a DA. I was considering to use the TimeManager, but as far as I can see, this may cause a few problems. As the user has to put other information in the textfile (to comment the use of an application), I have to make a DA (or a cdev) to insert the comments in the file. As the only programs I have made for Macs are normal applications, I would like to know if others have tried something similar, and which method (DA or Init/cdev) you think is the best for solving the problem.
