Snippets are not tested by anyone, except (presumably) the author. They are NOT to be considered the final or best way to do something. They are just bits of code that the DTS engineers and others come up with and feel might be useful to developers. Think of Snippets as a "Bucket 'o Rusty Parts" that is provided for your browsing pleasure, NOT as polished examples. A Snippet should only be used in a commercial application if YOU are sure that it does what you want.
****************************
The Snippet index is simply a tab-delimited text dump of part of the data base that is used to keep track of them here at Apple. This way you can use whatever tool you like: search it with any word processor, import it into your favorite data base, let On Location look through it, merge it with your Online database, etc. The field order is this:
Snippet Title <tab> Description <tab> Category <cr>
The category is also the name of the folder the snippet lives in.
Comments, flames, and ugly rumors should be directed to: Dave Johnson, AppleLink: JOHNSON.DK, at least for the time being...
