I've been developing an app in Lightspeed Pascal (2.01p or whatever the mose
recent USENET patch is), and noticed that I never see suspend+resume events
in response to Multifinder activity (when running in the Lightspeed environ-
ment).
I realize I'm not a partition under Multifinder's scheme, but I would think
that Lightspeed would pass them on to the application. Currently, it hooks
them to do things like saving your windows' bits (blew my mind the first
time I saw it; I switched my project back in and voila! the window redraw
itself, despite the complete lack of an update procedure!). If Multifinder
wasn't such a hack (a beautiful, beautiful hack) this wouldn't be a problem,
but as it is, I have no easy way of debugging my suspend/resume handling
stuff. (A full build takes about 6 minutes; this is a BIG application.)
Currently, I've written a suspend-resume event-poster to simulate being
switched out and back in (**much** easier than waiting on the full compile
each time I wanna test something).
So, Rich; patch-of-the-day-request: could some future Lightspeed feed me
my events if I've got the SIZE resource to handle them? Didn't think so (:-).

Can't be *that* big. :-) Lightspeed Pascal builds itself from scratch in about 20 minutes on a Mac II... >So, Rich; patch-of-the-day-request: could some future Lightspeed feed me >my events if I've got the SIZE resource to handle them? Didn't think so (:-). Maybe, but no promises.
