- I have just deceided to migrate from the University owned 386 to my SE/30
- for some software development. I have ordered Think C 5.0...
- I have been reading some of the Mac revealed series (Mac Plus edition)
- and was aghast at the lack of API calls that Win 3.x supports. Then it
- dawned on me that this book was discussing the System 3.0 (or 4.0) API
- calls.
-
- So, my question is: Does system 7.x provide a more complete degree of
- support. Specifically - are there more than 16 Event classes?
- - does 7.x handle most scroll-bar and other controls
- itself now?
- - Am I still responsible for updating parts of a
- window that actually belong to the system?
-
- Please reply via e-mail, since I have intermittant Net access (via Bowdoin
- College's good graces) and your followup may expire before I get back on.
-
- Oh yeah, What is the largest array (mem alloc) I can have? I heard in some
- Mac vs. PC fight that the Mac had a 64K data block limit, but even system 4
- used longint's for the alloc size...
