Manager: Resource Manager


Carbon will fully support the Resource Manager, with the following exceptions, which primarily involve ROM resource functions and functions that access the resource map:

* There will be no ROM in Mac OS X, so the ROM-related functions RGetResource and TempInsertROMMap will not be supported.

* There will be no way to directly walk the resource chain. Instead, Apple will supply a small number of new functions for proper management of the resource chain.

* The function RsrcMapEntry, which provides an interface to the map handle format, will not be supported.

* The low-memory global variables JCheckLoad, TopMapHndl, CurMap, and SysMapHndl will not be supported.

Note also that you should not attempt to store resources in the system heap, since you will not have the same access to the system heap as you do in previous versions of the Mac OS.

There will be no ROM in Mac OS X, so this ROM-related function will not be supported.

Unsupported  RsrcMapEntry

This function provides an interface based on the map handle format. You won't be able to use the map handle to walk the resource chain. Apple will provide a new API in Carbon for managing the resource chain.
