Could someone please send me information about how to call a code resource? I want to make a program that uses code resources. I know I have to load the resource and lock it, and somehow do a jump to it, but I am ignorant as to the exact methods. for example, how do I pass the two parameters, two longs? thanks in advance for any help. .....jeff jboser@tuna.cs.fau.edu -- "Make something an idiot can use, and only an idiot will use it." - RAH Like a bible, maybe? - me

I use something like this (in C): typedef void (*ptr_to_procedure)(long n1, long n2); ... { ptr_to_procedure p; Handle code_resource = Get1Resource('CODE', 128); HLock(code_resource); p = *code_resource; (*p)(1, 2); } This is not actually a Mac problem: how you accomplish the call depends entirely on which language you are using. I can't remember offhand how you would do it in Pascal. -- Pete O'Leary * My opinions are not my own, I am a pete@netcom.com * victim of media manipulation.
