I'm using THINK C to open a resource on a file. When the resource fork is
large, as on an application program file, I get a system error code -108,
memFullErr, Not enough memory in heap zone. When I try to do a printf on
a subsequent statement, everything stops. The code looks like this:
intmyFileID; /* returned ID number of file */
intResErrorNo; /* return code from error routine*/
Str255 myfilnam; /* file name in Pascal format */
.
.
.
myFileID = OpenResFile (myfilnam); /* open the resource file*/
ResErrorNo = ResError();
PtoCstr((char *) myfilnam); /* convert to C string for display*/
printf("\nThe file name is: %s",myfilnam);
*** bomb ***
Can anyone explain / help? I'm new to Mac programming.

The resource file may have some resources with the "preload" bit set, which makes the resource manager instantly read them in at open. You can avoid this by calling SetResLoad(FALSE) Remember to SetResLoad(TRUE) again. Read IM about this. Happy hacking, h+ h+@nada.kth.se "Moof!(tm)"

Basically, you have to call StripAddress on the pointer to the file name.
