Check out the alt.sources.mac archive at the URL in my signature.  There is
example code for patching SysError() among tons of other things.

Subject: C++ objects and routines that move memory
To: [e-mail]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Description: cc:Mail note part

Below is a short but complete program that I am working on.
It creates an object, initializes the data and prints the data.
In the class method initV, before the call to PBHGetVInfo,
the dubugger shows that all my class members have reasonable
values.  After the call to PBHGetVInfo, the dubugger shows
all the class members with the value "bus error".  This looks
like the memory for my class was moved by PBHGetVInfo.  The manual
says that to get relocatable objects, you need to specify that
explicitly, (__machdl).  Can someone point out my error?

I am using Symantec C++ 7.0.4.  On a Performa 476 (68K).

Thanks in advance,

John,

        The first thing I would check is to see if your parameter block to
PBHGetVInfo is set up correctly.  If my reading of Inside Mac: Files is
correct, you should not be using a VolumeParam struct and coercing the
pointer inside your method aVolume::initV.  Instead, I would use an
HParamBlockRec and place the appropriate values in the union using the
appropriate union notation.  The call to PBHGetVolInfo expects that the
structure be laid out in a very particular way, and have enough space to
hold every bit of information that it returns.  From the description of the
problem you give, I suspect the trouble is in setting up the parameter
block.  Setting up the parameter blocks correctly can get rather tedious.

        If you want good examples of the correct Apple recommended way to
set up parameter blocks for I/O calls, look at the MoreFiles example source
code included on the Feb 96 Tool Chest Developer CD.  In particular, you
may find the HGetVInfo example routine in MoreFilesExtras.c to be useful.
I also believe the examples are available from Apple's web site.

Hope this helps,


Bruce Alspaugh

Subject: WindowRecord and WindowPtr

I wrote this code to select a window when I chose it title in a menu (All
windows have a diferent name) and I have ome questions:

-Why I got a number 1 error when I call SelectWindow?
-Why window and window.port have the same addresse?
-Does window.port is a WindowPtr?
-It it the easiest way to do what I want?

void SelectWByText(Str255 wTitle)
{
        WindowRecord    window = *WindowList;
        Str255          title;
        short           i;

        for (i = 1; i <= gNumFile; i++)
        {
                GetWTitle(&window.port, title);
                if (EqualString(title, wTitle, TRUE, TRUE))
                {
                        SelectWindow(&window.port);
                        break;
                }
                window = *window.nextWindow;
        }
}

Subject: Question on StyleLineBreak


Hi,

I have a problem using the StyledLineBreak on a block of text more than, say,
60K.  The following segment of code will print a block of text and break them
up nicely in the 400 pixel width boundary.

It works fine with a small block of text ( say anything less than 50K ),
however, if the block of text is greater than 50K, the StyledLineBreak will
give me die after processing 5 lines.  And the value returned from the
textOffset field will be negative!  But if I reduce the file to less than
50K, it works fine!

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Sam :-)

  MoveTo ( 10, i );

Subject: copy files.

I would apreciate if something can help me.

I am working in a program that copies the characters contained in a file,
in another file, with certain changes. A filter.
Now, the program can copy the contents of a file in another using the
instructions FSRead and FSWrite, and a little buffer (20k). The sentences
are something like that:


..
long    gAmountInBuffer = 0;
const long      kCopyBufferSize = 10*1024;
..
gAmountInBuffer=kCopyBufferSize;
..
do
{
err=FSRead(sourceRefNum, &gAmountInBuffer, gBufferPtr);
..
err=FSWrite(destinationRefNum, &gAmountInBuffer, gBufferPtr);
}while (err=noErr)
..

The problem is that I cant find the way to catch that buffer in the middle
of the code and change it. For example I have to change de ASCII 22 by 30.
I want to know if I am using the wrong instructions, or if I can examine a
20k buffer to change something.

Thanks.
Fernando.

Subject: Difference between 68K and Power Mac?

Could someone tell me what I should look out for if I am creating
a 68K application to run on a normal Macintosh and a Power PC(emulation
mode)
Using Think C 7.06 I created a Tiff viewer that opens a tiff file and
displays it in a window and it worked with no problems on an MacIIFX,
Quadra's etc.However if I run it on a Power Mac the image does not
relate to the Tiff File ie a Tiff file containing of only a red image
(no drawings,no lines,just red) is shown properly on the 68K machine
but on a Power Mac it comes out as vertical Black and White vertical
lines.
What should I check for in my program to make it 68K and Power Mac
compatible???

Subject: CopyBits Problem

Please Help!! I am on a deadline and I cannot find a solution to this
problem!!!!!

I have tracked the problem with the TIFF viewer that works properly on
normal Macs but not PowerMacs to one
line,The CopyBits Function.

If I use the below code for Copying a pixmap of
(0x3C,0x3C,0x3C,0x3C,0x3C...) etc from a CGrafPtr to a Gworld
on a Standard Mac the GWorld PixMap is also  (0x3C,0x3C,0x3C,0x3C,0x3C...)
but if I use the same code on a Power Mac the GWorld PixMap is
(0x00,0x00,[0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00] <-by ntimes)

The Code is
void CopyPix2World ( CGrafPtr pixMap, GWorldPtr world )
{
   CGrafPtr    pOldPort ;
   GDHandle pOldDevice ;
   PixMapHandle   MyPixMapHandle;

      GetGWorld(&pOldPort,&pOldDevice);
      SetGWorld(world,0);
      MyPixMapHandle = GetGWorldPixMap(world);

      LockPixels(MyPixMapHandle);
       EraseRect(&world->portRect);
      SetGWorld(pOldPort,pOldDevice);
       CopyBits(   &((GrafPtr)pixMap)->portBits,
            &((GrafPtr)world)->portBits,
            &pixMap->portRect,
            &pixMap->portRect,
            srcCopy,
            0);
   if (QDError()) DoAlert("\p QDError"); <--No error
   SetGWorld ( pOldPort, pOldDevice ) ;
   UnlockPixels(world->portPixMap);
}

It has been 3 days now and I am nowhere nearer a solution. )-:
Give a Mac programmer newbie a break!

Hi fellow 'netters,

My name is Shyamala Raperjee and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis.   As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed.  They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.

Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves.  This is their price
guarantee.

Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines.  On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge.  They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas.   In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours.  They are so cheap in the USA!   Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members.  They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves!   This is their price guarantee.  Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.

Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.

They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above.  It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.

Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business!  Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.

They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.

They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA.   They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.

They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now.  Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine.  I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous.  They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.

The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member.   When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call.  He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!),  but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.

He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff.  If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.

He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising.  When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. )  I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members  the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff.  I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!

They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above.  It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.

They then send you email  that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells;  and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.

Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.


Sincerely,

Shyamala Raperjee


ps.  please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net
who you think might be interested in it!  It is a great deal!  If you join
and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for

Subject: Racist newsgroup proposal alert!

There is currently a proposal for the newsgroup rec.music.white-power,
an attempt by neo-nazi racists to legitimize their activities. It is now
in the CFV stage, where anyone with a valid e-mail address may vote.

"White power" racist music is not a legitimate form of music deserving of
a separate rec.music newsgroup, but rather a political group masquerading
as a musical one. And, the rec.* hierarchy is inappropriate because rec.*
is for recreational activities, and racism is anything but recreational.

But, most importantly, we must show the racists that they will not be
granted a mainstream forum in order to promote hate. If you don't want
a Usenet where minorities feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, vote NO on
rec.music.white-power. Let's make this a crushing defeat for racists.

To vote, send e-mail to [e-mail] and put

I vote NO on rec.music.white-power

in the body of the message.

The actual CFV can be found on news.announce.newsgroups,
or by sending a blank e-mail to [e-mail].

Voting ends 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Mar 1996, so act quickly!

Subject: I'm Pissed!


If it is one thing that I hate, it is someone that posts an unsolicited
junk email with an invalid return address.

I tried emailing both of the jerks who recently posted the messages about
the stupid magazine thing and the one by the guy who just realized that
there is racism on the net.

Both emails bounced.

Oh well, enough ranting and raving.  This message alone will probably
convince half a dozen people to unsubscribe to the list because of the
added noise.

Dave.

P.S. my email address is valid, feel free to flame if you wish ;-)

First of all thanks to every one. Im new in c for mac, and this list is a
bendition to me.

Now, one only question.
When you make a source of a program you use handles and pointers. OK. The
question is if I HAVE to "dispose" that handles and pointers, or the
application automatically cleans the memory it used when quit.
Thanks.

       It is always ALWAYS good pratice to clean up after yourself.

       Both in real life and within the Mac O/S.

       Remember the next version of the MAC O/S may not do the sames
       things in the same way, save your self a headache.

        You are responsible for your code, all your code.

     just double-click on the file icon and it automatically expands
     (unstuffs). This is for more advanced mac computer users only, as
     you still have to know how to deal with an attached file.  It will cut
     your download time by 75%.   Expands out to the same ~525K file in

Hi fellow 'netters,

My name is Lucy Whitten and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis.   As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed.  They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.

Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves.  This is their price
guarantee.

Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines.  On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge.  They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas.   In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours.  They are so cheap in the USA!   Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members.  They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves!   This is their price guarantee.  Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.

Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.

They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above.  It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.

Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business!  Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.

They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.

They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.

They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA.   They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.

They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now.  Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine.  I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous.  They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.

The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member.   When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call.  He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!),  but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.

He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff.  If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.

He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising.  When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. )  I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members  the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff.  I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!

They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above.  It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.

They then send you email  that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells;  and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.

Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.


Sincerely,

Lucy Whitten


ps.  please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net
who you think might be interested in it!  It is a great deal!  If you join
and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for
each new person you get to join after you join!   If you exceed 25
referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas,
Chanukah or any other occasion.  Please be kind enough to mention my name
when you join.   I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring
you.
Thank you.

Dear listowner, Dear all.

For some time we get a 13k big automatic emails from someone sending
chain-emails. It has nothing to do with mac. It has nothing to do with
programming. It has nothing to do with symantecs products. It has nothing
to do with think c/c++. Every 14 days or something we get the same email.
Could you please kick this magazine-auto-posting-thing out from this list?

Does one of your measures require the poster to be a member of the list?

It seems to me that that would stop anyone not on the list from spamming us
and if they first try to subscribe and their subscription reply bounces
then do not add them to the list.  I don't know how easily such a scheme
can be automated but maybe the listserver developers would be interested in
adding such a feature.

Subject: printf problem

I am in the process of porting a MS-DOS/UNIX ANSI compliant program to the
Macintosh using Think C V7.0.3.
I have encountered an issue which probably has a graceful solution, but I
have yet to find it.

        printf("| %-*.*s |\n", sizeof(name), sizeof(name), name);

The first line is the one that has given me a problem, in that I got
garbage on the console. I then typecast the sizeof as below and things come
out the correct way.
        printf("| %-*.*s |\n", (int)sizeof(name), (int)sizeof(name), name);

It seems that ANSI expects sizeof to an int, and Think C has it defined as
unsigned long.

What is the solution here? More specifically, is there an option or a
pre-processor flag that I should set to make Think C treat sieof as an int?
I definately would appreciate some guidance if possible.

Thankyou, Richard Tomkins

This MIND left BLANK INTENTIONALLY!

Richard,

A project-wide solution (untested) would be to put this in the necessary
project headers or sources...

#if __SC__ == 0x00000703 /* dunno what other versions may have
                            this bug, so we'll just diddle with
                            the version that we know does */
#define sizeof(x) (int)sizeof(x)
/* or, if you prefer, you can probably just...
 * #define sizeof (int)sizeof
 */
#endif /* __SC__ == 0x00000703 */

Alternatively, you could just put "#define sizeof(x) (int)sizeof(x)" (or
"#define sizeof (int)sizeof") in the project prefix.

Regarding "__SC__"...

This is defined for v8.0.3 and probably is for v7.0.3 although I think it
used to be something different like "THINK_C", "__THINK_C__", or some such.
If "__SC__" doesn't work, try those.  If neither of them work, look in the
Compiler Guide for "Predefined Macros".

BTW, you can type macros in the debugger's data window to see whether
they're defined.  Undefined symbols will have a phrase containing the word
"undefined".  Symbols defined with no value will probably say "expression
expected".  Symbols defined as a value will show the value (including
strings, though the debugger initially displays them as pointers).

Of course, doing this globally may cause problems elsewhere in the code.
You can also...

#if __SC__ == 0x00000703
    printf("| %-*.*s |\n", (int)sizeof(name), (int)sizeof(name), name);
#else
    printf("| %-*.*s |\n", sizeof(name), sizeof(name), name);
#endif /* __SC__ == 0x00000703 */

This is the way I prefer.

Subject: Graf 3D

 I have, with Think C, a lib called Graf3D. I suppose that it's for makink
3D Graf, but I don't know how to use it. I'd like to know if it work on
every machine, and how to use it (source code, if possible).

Thanks,
