- FakeModalTool provides routines for modal and movable-modal dialog boxes,
- while PixMapTool provides off-screen pixelmap support and allows conversion of
- pixelmaps to regions. Documentation for these routines is forthcoming in a
- manual from APDA and will also be released in the next revision of Apple II
- Sample Code in electronic format.

- DTS Tools & Libraries contains the following collections of routines:
-
- FakeModalDialog
-
- FakeModalDialog is a flexible set of routines for dealing with modal dialog
- boxes (a modal dialog box is a window which remains in front of other
- application windows until the user dismisses it).
-
- The FakeModalDialog routines are provided as assembly-language source code,
- in library form, and as a user tool set. Sample Code #9, Lister, shows how
- to use FakeModalDialog from C. By changing a #define in the file Lister.h,
- you can use either the library or the user tool set version (just use #define
- to define either _fmdLib_ or _fmdTool_, and fakeModalDialog.h takes care of
- generating calls to library routines or user tool functions).
-
- For information on user tool sets, see Appendix A of Apple IIgs Toolbox
- Reference, Volume 1, and the Apple IIgs Technical Note #73, Using User Tool
- Sets.
-
- There is a small assembly-language file that provides the user-tool wrapper
- around the fakeModalDialog routines (the wrapper is called FMDUserTool.aii
- under MPW IIgs and FMDUserTool.asm under APW). The bulk of the wrapper is
- glue needed because tool set functions are called with two RTL addresses on
- the stack, while the real FakeModalDialog routines, written in C with
- Pascal-style calling conventions, require a single RTL address.
-
- PixMapTool
-
- The PixMapTool user tool set includes PixelMap2Rgn and the off-screen pixel
- map routines. The user tool set wrapper, pmUserTool.aii, works very much
- like the user tool set wrapper in fakeModalDialog.
-
- PtrCheck
-
- The PtrCheck routines help detect when uninitialized auto pointer variables
- are used in APW C or MPW IIgs C. See the source (PtrCheck.asm or
- PtrCheck.aii) for details.
-
- APW 65816 assembly language users need APW v.1.0, APW Tools & Interfaces
- v.1.1, and Apple IIGS System Software 5.0.2 or later. Five APW command files,
- Full.Build, Build.DTS.lib, Build.FMDTool, Build.PMTool, and Build.macros allow
- you to perform complete or partial rebuilds of the tools.
-
- MPW IIGS users need MPW v.3.0, MPW IIGS Tools v.1.1, and the MPW IIGS Assembler
- v.1.0 or later. Three MakeFiles, Make.DTS.Lib1.v1.0, Make.FMDTool, and
- Make.PMTool allow you to perform complete or partial rebuilds of the tools.
