Once in everyone's life, there descends a time when
(s)he must hack*. In the case of some Mac programmers,
the urge to hack can become an obsession, bordering
on the illicit, causing untold whispers of furious denial
in halls distant, only known to the coder, the honky
codemer, spirits flailing, softness darkening,
and overheated silicon merging with the soul.
Today: such a time in my life. I felt like doing something
totally obsolete and useless to future generations, so I
wrote it partially in 68k assembly and threw routine
descriptors to the wind. I took five minutes out of my
day to implement that most curious of bit buckets, A
Macintosh Hack.
CPCopland is a very small, simple hack: It fools the
System into treating files with a type of 'APPC' as files
of type 'APPL'. In other words, the System believes 'APPC'
files are really applications.
What's the point? Control Panels in Copland will be full-
fledged applications. Therefore:
1. It would be a Good Thing to unified control panel
standard for Copland and System 7.
2. Developers need to test Copland-destined Control Panels,
and they can't do that until they actually posess Copland.
CPCopland offers a way to do either.
CPCopland should operate under any version of System 7.5;
it's my guess that if it's incompatible with some other
extension, it's the other extension's fault.
No guarantees.
CodeWarrior/7 project included.
This software is provided AS IS, No warranties express
or implied. This software has been tested for a total
of five minutes on a single Mac with a negative extension
count; therefore you use it ・・・at your own risk・・・.
