Gourmet! The Code Resource Fattener - Version 1.0b1
Copyright 1995 Chris K. Thomas. All Rights Reserved.
Reach me at thunderone@delphi.com.
___________________
It's A Put On
Gourmet! does graphically what MPW & Toolserver users can do textually:
produce fat code resources, safe and unsafe as requested. Since I
really don't like having to waste all that disk space on MPW or
Toolserver, I felt the need for it. Many Mac people dislike the
command-line nature of MPW. Me, I'm perversely attracted to it, but I'd
rather have the power and flexibility of a good human interface any day.
Freeware.
Current limitations:
Gourmet! currently requires twice the amount of memory as the finished
fat resource will occupy while creating the resource. If this is really
a problem, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Gourmet! was written with PowerPlant and CodeWarrior 5. This version is
PowerMac native (not fat- what hypocrisy!). If there's any demand, I'll
compile the 68k side. (I advise emailing me if you wish to register a
demand.)
And, for a bit of comic relief, attach your sight momentarily to the
about box.

Saturday Night's Alright - "Instructions"
Simple enough. Drag a file onto Gourmet! in the Finder. You need to
tell Gourmet! the type and id of your 68k and your PPC code resources,
and the type and id you wish for the fat resource. The little "!"
indicators next to each resource's ID field change to "ok" if the
resource exists. You also need a ProcInfo. ProcInfos specify the
calling conventions for the Mixed Mode Manager, in order that it might
setup the stack appropriately. The popup menu located to the left of
the ProcInfo field contains commonly used ProcInfos.
Important Notes:
* The ProcInfo field expects information entered as a long integer. You
can convert from hex if necessary by dropping into Macsbug and typing
the hex number followed by a return. The number you want is the one
preceded by a pound symbol ("#").
In this beta version, you can only create safe fat resources, which
are those that will run on both 68k Macs and PPC Macs. Trying to run
an unsafe fat resource on a 68k Mac will cause a crash, so this
probably isn't a huge deal.
For more information on the creation and proper usage of ProcInfos,
consult the folder CW5 Gold:CodeWarrior Examples ト:Code Resources
Examples:-CW Code Resource Info: on the CW/5 Gold CD. See also Inside
Macintosh: PowerPC System Software, Mixed Mode Manager chapter.

Don't Look Back
1.0b1 - Released!
1.0b2 - LDEF, Control Panel procInfos added to the popup, which is now
generated programmatically. About box fixes - I hadn't realized that
PowerPlant plays strange games with window GrafPorts & regions. Other
interface logic bugs fixed (some in PowerPlant). Now uses fat 3D
Buttons CDEF instead of 68k. Resource generation remains unchanged &
stable.
1.0b3 - Fixed freeze on drag/drop startup. I continue to assume that
PowerPlant is on my wavelength. I should know better. Robustified
resource management. Resource generation remains unchanged & stable.

Never Spend Your Guitar Or Your Pen - Legalities
This is a beta. It has not been tested fully in any way. I would be
very sorry if it caused forest fires beginning with one careless
exploding Mac, but I'm afraid I couldn't be held responsible. This
software is provided AS IS, with no warranty express or implied. Use of
this software indicates that not only do you agree to these conditions,
you love them even more than you do your carpet. I am irresponsible for
negative results obtained through the use of this software.
