- I am adding the names of 81 resources to a menu in my program, using
- either AddResMenu() or InsertResMenu(). These routines sort the names
- before adding them to the list.
-
- AddResMenu() and InsertResMenu() suddenly stopped working when I switched
- to a PowerBook 160 running System 7.1. The names are partially but not
- completely sorted. I have experimented, reducing the number of resources
- down to as low as 8, yet the names are still not sorted correctly.
-
- This does not seem to be a problem with the sorts of resources most people
- use these routines for, 'DRVR' (now Apple menu items) and 'FONT'. Of
- course, with these types of resources, the code must be very different
- since most Apple menu items are not really 'DRVR' resources and most
- fonts are not really 'FONT' resources.
-
- I don't know if this is a bug with System 7.1 or in the PowerBook 160 ROMs
- since I don't (for the moment) have access to another Mac that is running
- System 7.1.
-
- Can anyone verify this behavior?
