OpenPreferencesFolder.c
Open the Preferences folder (in the Macintosh System Folder), creating it if
necessary.
All the Macintosh-dependent code is conditionally compiled, anticipating that
code will be added to support other operating systems, especially DOS and
Windows.
OpenPreferencesWD() is a stand-alone routine that finds the Preferences folder
(creating it if necessary) and allocates to it a working directory number that
should subsequently be deallocated by calling CloseWD().
The purpose of OpenPreferencesFolder() and ClosePreferencesFolder() is to
isolate the Macintosh dependence to this file, on the premise that many programs
will want to access files stored in the Preferences folder, and that such
programs might be portable to other computers if a new routine is supplied to
open an appropriate "Preferences" directory. The real work is done by
OpenPreferencesWD(). OpenPreferencesFolder() and ClosePreferencesFolder() share
hidden state variables.
The FindFolder routine appeared with System 7, but, according to THINK
Reference, under System 6 it's implemented by glue code inserted by the compiler
(THINK C 5 or MPW 3.2 or better), but the glue code will only give us the System
Folder.
NOTE:
This routine calls several Apple routines for which the glue is in THINK C's
MacTraps2, not in MacTraps. So be sure to add both to your project if you use
OpenPreferencesFolder. If you forget you'll get an error message from the Linker.
HISTORY:
6/13/93 dgp wrote it.
9/15/93 dgp made Mac-specific code conditional.
