It was a slow day at work yesterday, so I decided to port the Adobe Type Manager interface routines from Think C to MPW C. Just for fun, I fixed the sample programs to work with MPW also. If you'd like a copy of these, send mail and I'll email them to you. As Adobe makes these freely available, I imagine there is no problem with this. --- The fix for the interface routines is somewhat evil. I declare them to be pascal void, and then send them the parameters in reverse order (Pascal and C have backwards calling conventions.) It is necessary that they be void so that no space is cleared on the stack for the result. The result is returned from the driver function to the C function in D0. By not specifying a return value in the C function (which is declared int), the value in D0 is returned to the original caller. This has been verified by the use of DumpObj. Guaranteed to work only with MPW C 3.0 or 3.1. This seems the sort of solution that would easily break. Maybe I'll write a little assembly glue to make it more robust. --- Curt Hagenlocher chi@tybalt.caltech.edu Real bad boys movin' silent
