- Probably many people are in the same boat - I have to develop for 6 & 7.
-
- This is a nightmare in many respects. However, one problem I have is this:
-
- How do we know which toolbox calls are available in which systems?
-
- Can I just say '6.0.4 or later please' and be safe? How do I know?
-
- Gestalt is supported from 6.0.4 onwards, but it is in IM VI. What about the
- FSSpec stuff? The new high-level file calls like DirCreate? How can I find out
- what the minimum system is? I don't want to limit myself to IM V if possible...
-
- Please help, this is driving me nuts!
-
- Regards,
- Mike.
