On the Developer System 7 disk there is an application shell called the CShell. It was written by Eric Soldan of Apple DTS and supports many System 7 features. I've been working with this code and have been trying to get it to open a document when it receives the Open Document AppleEvent. The code fails with an error -1700, data could not be coerced to the requested data type, when it is parsing the open document AppleEvent. So - is any one using this code? Is Eric Soldan working on it further? Any ideas why it might get that error? Fixes? As you can no doubt tell, I'm new to this AppleEvent stuff. It all seems rather complicated, though powerful. -- michael peirce -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE

The bug he has is because I got bitten by an interface change. This is actually old news. The sad thing is that it means that the latest version wasn't pressed on the latest CD. They have the latest, so I am not sure why this happened. I guess that is an improvement over the "Gorilla's in the Disk" CD, on which they forgot to put anything I had ever touched anywhere on the damned thing. The current version I am working on has a lot of new gizmos I think you will like. If this latest version passes [testing] without being torn apart too badly, then I think I have something.
