Here a few things not answered in IM V: I can't seem to access the global array QDColors which supposedly has the RGB defs for the 8 original mac colors. I realize there is a rsrc in the system for these, and a defQDColors = 127 for the rsrc, but I am not sure how to pull them into my code or if it is done automatically. I am using THINK C 4.02 by the way. What is the meaning of the values for the original 8 colors (e.g. blackColor, greenColor, etc...)? They are not indexes into the system clut, but they are none sequential numbers. Basically I want to go from these to rgb values and back -- right now I just build a big array and compare. The functions GetForeColor and GetBackColor are purely color QD as far as I can tell -- I can get thePort->bkColor and thePort->fgColor in non- color QD worlds, but it would be nice if either worked... -- * Mike Tarr The Human Neuron Project * * tarr@cs.yale.edu Department of Psychology * * "My opinions are always my own."
