I have been programming on the mac for the past year now and there is one thing that has eluded me the entire time. How do you make an INIT/CDEV? What I'm interested in doing is some kind of INIT alarm clock with parameters set via the Control Panel. I know that IM-V tells how to write a CDEV, but I have not had any luck with the INIT part. IM-IV, which supposedly covers this topic, merely says something like "INIT's are loaded into the System Heap during startup." It gives no information about how to make one, or how to do anything with it once it's loaded into the System Heap. Any code in Pascal or C would be appreciated. I use Lighspeed for both languages. No assembly please. Thanks for your cooperation.
