[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Mr. Bus Error

souka@uh.msc.umn.edu (Omar Souka) (02/14/91)

In the latest issue of MacTutor, an init called Mr. Bus Error is
described which puts an invalid memory address at location 0 (so if you
reference a nil handle, you get an address error right away instead of a
crash 5 minutes later).  This init is supposedly on the Apple developer
CD's.  Would someone mind posting it to comp.sys.mac.binaries or sumex.

Thanks much.

What would be so hard about doing this oneself?
