Sorry if this is in the wrong group, and sorry that this didn't get sent in the previous post (I can't cancel it either). I am looking for a source of any simple C program that makes use of the function and procedure calls to manipulate the Mac window interface. I am trying to create an application (stand-alone) from MPW 3.1, and I have the Mac bible (written in Pascal) vols 1,2,3 which seems to be void of clear, useable examples. I am trying to make a simple database program, which is already coded and working in standard C, to run under the Mac windows environment by adding the needed window manipulation procedures to it (to make it look nice). Thanks in advance for any sources, emailings, or FTP's (PREFERRED so as to not hog up net time or my mailbox) you may have. Thanks, -- //===== //===== Russ Fink =============== // //____ rfink@eng.umd.edu // // University of Maryland //===== //===== College Park ============

I *don't* program, but John Norstad does and makes (most of) the source for Disinfectant available via anonymous ftp at fine sites all over the net. acns.nwu.edu rascal.ics.utexas.edu sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

If you want a somewhat painless way of getting into programming the Macintosh, you might check out the TransSkel application skeleton by Paul DuBois. It is available via anonymous FTP from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, among other places. It is written for THINK C, which was once called Lightspeed C, but you might be able to get it to work under MPW C as well. I haven't tried it. I should point out the standard warning: it takes a hell of a lot more than tacking windows and menus onto a text-based program to make it into a friendly Macintosh program.
