ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About EAS ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The EAS application is a sample Presentation Manager program which
demonstrates the use of the extended attributes editor. It consists of
procedures for dialog boxes that provide some information about a file's
attributes. The EA code revolves around the HoldFEA structure. This structure
is a linked list which contains one EA per structure. Each HoldFEA structure
is dynamically allocated, as are the two string pointer members of the
structure, szName and aValue. This is done to make handling the EAs easier and
more flexible.
