- Supposedly the gestalt glue manages to approximate the trap even on systems
- where it isn't there. (thru SysEnvirons calling) but the simplest thing to do
- is either narrow your scope and test it before you release (i.e. check all the
- versions you are willing to support forthe features you want) or just use
- Gestalt and/or SysEnvirons to see if calls are available.
-
- The things you have to check for are basically anything in vol. 6 and much of
- vol. 5 if you want to support Pluses and older systems (like back to 6.0.0) and
- just go ahead and use v. 1-4 freely.
