Hi,
This one seems pretty weird.
I'm using asynchronous appletalk calls in my program. I put
debug string calls before looking up names and sending messages
to them. Well, I never drop into the debugger unless I mouse
down "somewhere"; whether it be on the application window or
just on the desktop. When I do, the debugger properly comes
up and displays my debug string. I continue and wait, wait,
and wait. Nothing happens; unless I do another mouse down
somewhere. Then the debugger comes up again with the second
debug string properly displayed.
Basically, in the main event loop of my program, whenever a
null event occurs, I check the "message" queue for completion
of asynch events. Seems to work great with MultiFinder.
Think I'll try using just Finder.
I'm running on MacIIfx, System 6.0.5, Finder 6.1.5, and MultiFinder
version ?? (I don't remember).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
