I just did this recently. Success depenmds on careful reading of the Device Manager chapter of Inside Mac Vol4. You will see that the header that THINK C generates is not quite right. here is the complete text of a C program to fix up the header of your resource: /* X-10PACKFixer - Copyright 1990 by David Phillip Oster The point of this program is to install the flags long word in the header of the PACK of the X-10 gateway the hex constant means: uses AppleTalk, handles the following procedures: */ #define bAppleTalk (1L << 31) #define bMultiSelect (1L << 28) #define bLeftButton (1L << 27) #define bRightButton (1L << 26) #define bNoSaveZone (1L << 25) #define bUseZoneName (1L << 24) #define bNewSel (1L << 16) #define bFillList (1L << 15) #define bGetSel (1L << 14) #define bSelect (1L << 13) #define bDeselect (1L << 12) #define bTerminate (1L << 11) main(){ LongInt *np; Handle h; Integer res; /* This stuff is so Vaccine won't croak */ InitGraf((Ptr) &thePort); InitFonts(); InitWindows(); InitCursor(); InitDialogs(NIL); TEInit(); if(-1 != (res = OpenResFile((StringPtr) "\pYourFileHere"))){ if(NIL != (h = GetResource('PACK', -4096))){ np = (LongInt *) (*h + 0xC); *np = bAppleTalk | bGetSel | bSelect | bDeselect; SetResPurge(TRUE); ChangedResource(h); SysBeep(1); } CloseResFile(res); } } -- -- David Phillip Oster - Note new address.

Would this have anything to do with the X10 "home control system", where commands can be sent over the 110 VAC house wiring to turn appliances, lights, etc. on and off? Would you care to comment on what this beast is? Herb Poppe NCAR hpoppe@ncar.ucar.edu 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80307-3000 (303) 497-1296
