[comp.sys.apple2] Find File NDA

wombat@claris.com (Scott Lindsey) (03/14/90)

Some comments (one in particular) about the Find File DA that was recently
posted to comp.binaries.apple2: It seems to be a fairly reasonable
implementation: it works with other filesystems (like AppleShare), but it
breaks a cardinal rule of NDA's.  You can only assume that the tools listed
on p. 5-5 of the IIgs Tool Reference vol. 1 have been started up.  If one of
those hasn't been started up, it's not your fault (e.g., PaintWorks and the
scrap manager!).  QDAux isn't one of those tools, and that will cause Find
File to crash (since it uses DrawIcon) in any law-abiding application that
doesn't happen to start up QDAux.
