I'm using the phone book (promotional) IM, what later became IM I-III. It says
that if GetResource can't find the requested resource, it returns a NIL handle
and ResError will then return resNotFound. I checked IM I in a bookstore,
which said the same thing; this one was printed in late 1988, September I
think. A friend of mine has a hard-cover volume containing IM I-III, which
says that ResError will actually return noErr if the resource is not found.
This is what appears to be happening on my machine. I can't find anything
about this in the TechNotes that I have. What's the scoop? What's the
official answer?
I'm using a Mac II, System 6.0.4 and Think C 4.01, FYI.
Thanks,
geoff george

If GetResource doesn't find the resource, it will return NIL and the ResError function will return the result code resNotFound; however, if the resource type isn't in any open resource file, it also returns NIL but the ResError function will return the result code NoErr.
