Following the instructions in a recently released Macintosh Technical note,
I wrote to Apple and requested a copy of the glue for the SysEnvirons
trap call, which I received.
Since I mainly use Lightspeed Pascal (I don't have MPW Pascal), an MPW-format
library is of no use to me, so I did the following:
- Used DumpObj to disassemble the library.
- Extracted the module containing the SysEnvirons glue.
- Assembled the smaller module into a separate object file.
- Used an (experimental!) .O converter to make a Lightspeed Pascal
library from the MPW object file.
The resulting LSP library works perfectly well.
\
My question is the following:
I figure that this little library could be useful to Lightspeed
Pascal users who want the SysEnvirons call, and I was considering
uploading my library and the interface source to comp.binaries.mac
for distribution.
Will this cause legal problems? I don't intend to sell this, but as
as I said, this could be really useful...
I'm addressing this question mainly to the Apple employees who read this
newsgroup, since they're the ones who are best prepared to answer the question.
Thanks.
