According to the toolbox ref the C prototype is extern pascal FWRec FWEntry (aRegValue, XRegValue, yRegValue, eModeEntryPt) and the definition for FWRec (look at the summary section in the back) is in fact what appears in misctool.h (if it doesn't then maybe you need the 1.1 update!). It is Orca's library's responsibility to translate between that C prototype and the actual tool parameters. However, there is a bug in the 1.1 library -- functions that return structs: ------------------- This archive contains, with source, a replacement for part of ORCALIB and ORCAGLIB in ORCA/C 1.1. The tool glue in the original 1.1 libraries is not correct, and this library fixes it. It affects all tool calls that require glue. Those calls are: FWEntry, GetAbsClamp, GetMouseClamp, ReadMouse, ReadTimeHex, LongDivide, LongMul, SDivide, UDivide, InitialLoad, LoadSegName, Restart, UnloadSeg, GetLoc, GetErrGlobals, GetErrorDevice, GetInGlobals, GetInputDevice, GetOutGlobals, GetOutputDevice and InitialLoad2. -------------------- The archive this came from is on tybalt.caltech.edu, in pub/apple2/source as file orcapatches.bsq -- I can bitnet send it if you want.
