- Files of this type contain Apple IIgs Classic Desk Accessories in OMF format.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Classic Desk Accessories are available by pressing Command-Ctrl-Esc, whether
- or not a desktop application is running.
-
- Files of type $B9 in the System:Desk.Accs directory of the boot volume are
- automatically loaded with the Loader and installed into the system with
- InstallCDA at boot time. Bit 15 of the auxiliary type is the "inactive" bit--
- if it's set, GS/OS does not load the CDA. All other bits in the auxiliary
- type are reserved and should be zero.
-
- CDAs are stored on disk in Object Module Format, which is defined in Appendix
- F of GS/OS Reference. Once the Loader brings your CDA's code into memory, the
- format is as specified in the Desk Manager chapter of Apple IIgs Toolbox
- Reference, volume 1.
-
- CDA authors should be sure to read the material listed under "Further
- Reference."
