 Description:
 128K ROM/Asm - When calling MaxApplZone and MoveHHi from assembly language,
be sure to get the correct code. MaxApplZone and MoveHHi were marked [Not
in ROM] in Inside Macintosh, Volumes I-III . They are ROM calls in the 128K
ROM. Since they are not in the 64K ROM, if you want your program to work on
64K ROM routines it is necessary to call the routines by a JSR to a glue
(library) routine instead of using the actual trap macro. The glue calls
the ROM routines if they are available, or executes its copy of them
(linked into your program) if not.

 Description:
 AppleShare and Old Finder - A rumor has been spread that if you use a
pre-AppleShare Finder on a workstation to access AppleShare volumes, you
can bypass AppleShare’s “access privilege” mechanisms. This is not true.
Access controls are enforced by the server, not by the Finder. If you use
an older Finder, you are still prevented (by the server) from gaining
access to protected files and folders; however, you will not get the proper
user-interface feedback that you would if you were using the correct
Finder.

for the Macintosh desktop. In order to implement those changes, 'wctb' and
'cctb' resources have changed in both form and use; it is now up to
developers to take the lead and help the new standard work. The task can be
divided into two main areas: in most cases all developers have to do is to
stick to the system resources in order to provide a homogeneous feel to the
user; developers in this group need only make sure the old 'wctb's are
disposed of and that all dialogs and windows are based on CGrafPorts.

 DiaglogsfromDAs - When a desk accessory creates a window (including a
modeless dialog window) it must set the windowKind to its refnum—a negative
number. When the application calls GetNextEvent, the Event Manager calls
SystemEvent, which checks to see if the event belongs to a desk accessory.
SystemEvent checks the windowKind of the frontmost window, and uses the

 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 Don’t Call ADBReInit in sys - Because of a bug (which causes auto-repeat)
in the ROM version of the Macintosh SE keyboard driver, a patch was placed
in System 4.1. If ADBReInit is called, the ROM version of the keyboard
driver will be reloaded, and the RAM version of the driver with the patches
will not be used. Therefore, it is recommended that ADBReInit not be called
on the Macintosh SE until the problem is fixed. (There is no need to call
ADBReInit.) This problem will not occur with the Macintosh II ROM version
of the keyboard driver.

 Font Names - This note recommends the use of font names rather than font
numbers. The Font Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh Volume IV claims that
font family numbers 0 through 127 are reserved for use by Apple, and
numbers 128 through 255 are assigned by Apple for fonts created by software
developers. This is no longer true. Developer Technical Support does not
assign font family numbers. You should only use font numbers to reference
the system font (font 0) and application default font (font 1). All other
fonts should be identified by name. The Font/DA Mover will renumber a font
when moving it into a file containing a conflicting font family.

 GetNewDialog Errors - When calling GetNewDialog to retrieve a dialog
template from a previously opened resource file, how are error conditions
indicated to the caller? Unfortunately, they aren’t. The Dialog Manager
calls GetResource and assumes the returned value is good. Since the Dialog
Manager doesn’t check, you have two choices. Your first choice is to call
GetResource for the dialog template, item list, and any resources needed by
items in the item list yourself. But what do you do when you find the
resources aren’t there?

that allow an application to change the depth and flags for a given device
and also check whether a device supports a particular depth and flags
setting.  Apple provides these calls to give developers a better way to
help users make changes when they consider it appropriate.  Abusive use of

 HFS Comaptibility - This technical note tells you how to make sure that
your applications run under the Hierarchical File System (HFS). The
Hierarchical File System (HFS) provides fast, efficient management of
larger volumes than the original Macintosh File System (MFS). Since HFS is
hierarchical, HFS folders have a meaning different from MFS folders. In
MFS, a folder has only graphical significance—it is only used by the Finder
as a means of visually grouping files. The MFS directory structure is
actually flat (all files are at the ‘root’ level). Under HFS, a folder is a
directory that can contain files and other directories.

 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 Handles vs. Pointers - A handle is a handle and a pointer is a pointer.
Applications should avoid embedding non-relocatable objects (that the
system assumes will never move) in handles. In order to avoid
fragmentation, some applications embed pointers (non-relocatable memory
manager objects) in handles, so that the handles can be moved around as
needed. This can cause several problems, especially with the Macintosh II,
and should be avoided.

 Description:
 Inside Object Pascal - This Technical Note briefly explains why Object
Pascal and MacApp should only be used to write applications and MPW tools.
Although Pascal can be used to write desk accessories, drivers, XCMDs and
other types of stand–alone code, and Object Pascal is an extension of
Pascal, Object Pascal cannot be used to write anything other than an
application.  This limitation is due to the fact that Object Pascal method
dispatching relies on a valid A5 pointing to a jump table.  Because MacApp
is written in Object Pascal, this limitation applies to it as well.

 Path =  AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Files:ioCompletion.cpt
 Size:  4K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 ioCompletion - When making synchronous calls to the File Manager, it is not
necessary to clear ioCompletion field of the parameter block, since that is
done for you. Some earlier technotes explicitly cleared ioCompletion, with
the knowledge that this was unnecessary, to try to encourage developers to
fill in all fields of parameter blocks as indicated in Inside Macintosh.
By the way, this is true of all parameter calls—you only have to set fields
that are explicitly required.

 Path =  AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Files:ioNamePtr.cpt
 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 ioNamePtr - It is very important to set ioNamePtr when making PB calls,
even if you don’t want  those calls to return a name. Whenever Inside
Macintosh indicates that ioNamePtr is either required for input or returns
something, you must set ioNamePtr to either nil (if you aren’t using a
name) or to point to storage for a Str255. If you don’t explicitly set
ioNamePtr, strange and unusual crashes may occur, depending on the
machine/configuration your code is run on.

 Path =  AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Files:ioPosOffset.cpt
 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 ioPosOffset - The Device Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh Volume II says
that ioPosOffset is passed to and returned by Read and Write calls. It also
says that “After the read [or write] is completed, the position is returned
in ioPosOffset…” Actually, ioPosOffset is not changed by either call. Also
note that device drivers should only look at the dCtlPosition field of the
DCE, and should not look directly at the ioPosOffset field of the parameter
block. The Device Manager sets up dCtlPosition for the driver, taking into
account both the ioPosMode and the ioPosOffset.

 Description:
 Is This a Spooler? - When the LaserShare spooler is on an AppleTalk
network, it acts like a LaserWriter-type device, which can be chosen and
communicated with much like a real LaserWriter. Some applications, however,
must communicate with a LaserWriter directly, not a spooler. If this is
true for your application, you can check whether you are actually talking
to a real LaserWriter by sending to the LaserWriter the following query.

 Description:
 KillNBP - This technical note clears up some confusion regarding the Name
Binding Protocol KillNBP function. The description of the PKillNBP function
on page 519 of Inside Macintosh Volume V is somewhat confusing. The data

 Laser Prep Routines - This technical note addresses the issues involved in
depending on the procedures and constants defined in the Laser Prep
dictionary. When you are writing an application that uses PostScript
heavily, it is very tempting to call the procedures already defined in the
Laser Prep dictionary, rather than taking up the space in the printer’s
memory with PostScript procedures of your own. Or, if a procedure in the
dictionary doesn’t do what you need it to do, it is tempting to go in and
change it to do what you really want.

 Description:
 Low-Level Printing - When you use the low-level printer driver to print,
you don’t get the benefits of the error checking that is done when you use
the high-level Printing Manager. So, if the user prints to an AppleTalk
ImageWriter (including an AppleTalk ImageWriter LQ) that is busy printing
another job, the driver doesn’t know whether the printer is busy, offline,

 Description:
 Mixing HFS and C I/O - This Technical Note discusses the problem of mixing
calls to the Macintosh file system with calls to MPW C library file I/O
routines. Problems with Communication Between HFS and C. Frequently,
developers want to use both Macintosh file I/O and C file I/O.  Developers
who do this must keep in mind that they are combining two distinct file
representations (the Macintosh and ANSI C). The only limitation on mixing
HFS and C I/O functions is that they cannot be mixed on the same open file.
There are three reasons why this cannot be done.

 Description:
 MoveHHi and SetResPurge - SetResPurge(TRUE) is called to make the Memory
Manager call the Resource Manager before purging a block specified by a
handle. If the handle is a handle to a resource, and its resChanged bit is
set, the resource data will be written out (using WriteResource). When
MoveHHi is called, even though the handle’s block is not actually being
purged, the resource data specified by the handle will be written out. An
application can prevent this by calling SetResPurge(FALSE) before calling
MoveHHi (and then calling SetResPurge(TRUE) after the MoveHHi call).

 Name  =  Nulls in Filenames.cpt
 Path =  AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Files:Nulls in Filenames.cpt
 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 Nulls in Filenames - Some applications (loosely speaking so as to include
Desk Accessories, INITs, and what-have-you) generate or rename special
files on the fly so that they are not explicitly named by the user via
SFPutFile. Since the Macintosh file system is very liberal about filenames
and only excludes colons from the list of acceptable characters, this can
lead to some difficulties, both for the end user and for writers of other
programs which may see these files.

 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 Object Pascal - Object Pascal must have a CODE segment named %_MethTables
in order to access object methods. In MacApp this is taken care of “behind
the scenes” so you don’t have to worry about it . However, if you are doing
a straight Object Pascal program, you must make sure that %_MethTables is
around when you need it. If it’s unloaded when you call a method, your
Macintosh will begin executing wild noncode and die a gruesome and horrible
death.

and compatible way to open the AppleTalk drivers, .MPP and .ATP. The
process of opening the AppleTalk drivers, .MPP and .ATP, can be greatly
simplified.  The AppleTalk Manager chapters of Inside Macintosh describe
the calls MPPOpen and ATPLoad for use by high-level languages.  They also
describe the process of examining low-memory globals SPConfig and PortBUse
before calling _Open for assembly language use of AppleTalk.

 Path =  AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Devices:PBClose the Barn Door.cpt
 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 PBClose the Barn Door - This Technical Note discusses the need for
Macintosh device drivers to implement _PBClose. You may get the idea when
implementing device drivers that _PBClose is superfluous.  After all, if
you have a resident driver for a NuBus™ video board, the only time your
driver is not needed is if the operating system is going away.  It might
seem that nothing important can happen after the operating system goes
away, so why bother with _PBClose?  Well, it turns out a lot can happen,
and this Note tells you why it is important to implement a Close (_PBClose)
routine.

 Description:
 PBGetCatInfo&ioFDirIndex - This technical note describes how to set
ioFDirIndex for PBGetCatInfo. The File Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh
volume IV is not very specific in describing how to use ioFDirIndex when
calling PBGetCatInfo. It correctly says that ioFDirIndex should be positive
if you are making indexed calls to PBGetCatInfo (analogous to making
indexed calls to PBGetVInfo as described in Technical Note #24).

 Size:  5K         Date:10/29/92         Version:
 Description:
 PBHSetVol - This note explains PBHSetVol, and why its use is not
recommended. PBHSetVol, like SetVol and PBSetVol, allows you to set the
current default volume and directory to be used with subsequent File
Manager calls. Unlike SetVol and PBSetVol, though, PBHSetVol lets you
specify the volume and the directory separately, using the ioVRefNum and
ioWDDirID fields.

 Description:
 PictComments Real Deal - Changes since March 1988:  This Note (formerly
titled “Optimizing for the LaserWriter—PicComments”) describes the picture
comments defined and interpreted by the Apple printer drivers. Most of the
picture comments are specific to PostScript, but we renamed the Note to
emphasize that LaserWriter printers are not necessarily PostScript devices,
and that QuickDraw printer drivers may implement their own picture comment
handling. This Note has been completely rewritten and incorporates all
additional insights gained during the last few years.

 Position ind PS - This technical note describes a method for inserting
position-independent PostScript into QuickDraw pictures. There is a problem
with pictures that contain PostScript code. Sometimes the PostScript code
that is inserted into the picture is dependent on the position of the
picture on the page. The problem arises when these pictures are cut or
copied from their original position, and pasted into another position or
even into another document. The PostScript code will not know the new
location of the picture, and will not execute correctly.

 Print Dialogs - This technical note discusses how to add your own items to
the Printing Manager’s dialogs.When the Printing Manager was initially
designed, great care was taken to make the interface to the printer drivers
as generic as possible in order to allow applications to print without
being device-specific. There are times, however, when this type of
non-specific interface interferes with the flexibility of an application.
An application may require additional information before printing which is
not part of the general Printing Manager interface.

 Problem with GetVInfo - The high-level call GetVInfo (and its low-level
counterpart PBGetVInfo) may return inaccurate results for freeBytes when
running HFS. The high-level File Manager call GetVInfo returns the number
of free bytes on a volume as one of its parameters. Since GetVInfo is
really only glue that fills in a parameter block for you and then calls
PBGetVInfo, the values returned from it are subject to the limitations
(imposed for MFS) discussed in the File Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh
Volume IV.

variable and checking for off-screen and inactive GDevice records.  (One
variable name has changed.)  Additional minor changes:  Corrected original
sample code to use _EraseRect before zooming and added references to Human
Interface Note #7, Who’s Zooming Whom? for more subtle and application-
specific considerations.
