By default, TC4 uses the compressed MacHeaders to include declarations for commonly used Toolbox managers' structs, constants, etc. To correct, pick "Options..." from the "Edit" menu, touch "Code Generation" (sic) on the left then uncheck "<MacHeaders>" on the right. To change the default to the unchecked option, touch "This Project" and ">>Copy>>" at the top of the window. The MacHeaders option is very nice, by the way, and need not be restricted to use with Symantec's headers. I added the prototypes that have made the rounds to the file "Mac #includes.c", selected "Precompile..." from source menu, and saved over the old MacHeaders. With a large project, you'd want to add your project headers as well. This makes a fast compiler run even faster. BTW, the precompiled header bit is an old Manx/Aztec trick. Nobody said Think was too proud to adopt a good idea... =Ned Horvath=
