I am about to write some code which needs to deal with the system parameters
which are stored in the PRAM. I've looked through IM and the technotes but it
seems to me that the format has changed since those were written. Does anybody
out there have a list of what information is kept in the PRAM and where it is
put when it's loaded in?
thanks.

The new mouse stuff if kept in the 'mcky' resource in the System File. There are, i believe, 6 of these resources. Each is a longint. If you need the desktop patterns, there are 'PAT ' 16 and 'ppat' 16. I think that that pretty much covers all the system parameters you might need to get a handle on or change. If anybody knows of others, don't hesitate to correct me..... Michael O'Rourke Clemson University
