- OK. Let me just make a few comments about what exactly I have.
-
- I think "package" is the wrong word; I tend to think of a package as a
- library. What I *do* have is a small application that shows how to do
- this type of processing. The runnable application is only some 8K in size,
- and the code is moderately readable.
-
- What it does now is: lets the user type their info in (whatever it may be).
- When the enter key is pressed, the program reads all the text entered after
- the prompt. Everything *before* the prompt is deleted.
- What this does is allows the last "command" to remain displayed. This is
- very hard to describe here; you'll have to check out the program.
- In other words, the text actually stored in the textedit record is rarely
- more than 1K; so yes, the program handles the 32k barrier fine. This
- "feature" of deleting old data is easily modifiable to store say, the last
- 16000 characters.
-
- As far as getting it goes, if you would like a copy, please reply via
- email. I will eventually post it to comp.binaries.mac, but it'd be quickest
- to email it to anyone who is interested and wants/needs it now. The
- source and executable is only 44k (binhexed).
-
- I'll compile a list of people and zap it out in a few days, OK?
