The copy of Inside Mac DA which I got (by mail, on a floppy) unstuffed itself -- that is, you just double-clicked the ".sit" file, and some window with a message about "Auto Unstuff Capability" came up, and then it unstuffed itself. In fact, my own copy of Stuffit would not recognize or open the ".sit" file as an archive. Two messages for Mr. Gallet, if he reads this (3 actually): 1) Inside Mac is a great contribution -- thanks. 2) But, using ".sit" as the suffix for these "auto-unstuff" files muddies the waters -- if they're not normal ".sit" files, they should have a different suffix. 3) Your notes about the file format for the manual file are not totally clear (at least to me), and it's also not entirely clear what the DA does with the "procedures" and "functions" in the manual file. I want to use your program to make an "About QuickBASIC" DA, to contain QuickBASIC commands and keywords; and I'm having a hard time getting the DA to do what I want. A more detailed explanation of what your DA does with the Manual contents, and how, would be helpful.
