- Splash Hack
-
- INIT and trap patch done at MacHack 1991. A simple animation replaces
- _SysBeep. The animation consists of a few PICTs loaded in the
- System Heap at startup. The patch code block is stuffed with references
- to the storage and installed. This file is the patch code.
-
- This is not an example of good practice in the Macintosh environment!
- Please consider this code - well you know - a HACK !!
-
- NOTICE: Distribution is restricted to non-commercial agencies, Internet
- (+other unix sites) and user groups, as long as this notice remains.
- Probably to people that know what they are doing also, but then again,
- who's to say ?!

-
- The two cool parts of this hack are as follows: the refs to the resources are
- stuffed into the patch code resource; and the visual quality of the animation.
- No color calls & no color mapping problems. ** Currently crashes on a 68000 !! **
-
- The animation is meant to be fresh, current and catchy. SysBeep occurs regularly,
- just like MacHack, and its existance is just a bit bent, like MacHack.
- You be the judge! No show init :( New Think C hdrs and no hard drive conspired
- to prevent addition… Source code included, like every hack should....
-
- By the way, I thought of this on my own, and it is a total coincidence that this
- year's *winning* hack was the Video Beep. ( 'guess there's a lesson here !)
