This example functions identically to the "IInfo" plug-in that comes with Mac OS 8, but allows multiple read me panels to be present in a single data file. This is accomplished by storing the preference resource ID in a 'paul' resource in both the plug-in file and editor file. If you wish to add another read me plug-in to your data file, duplicate the Generic Read Me plug-in and editor files (rename as appropriate, but both files must match), then change the 'paul' resource in both files to an ID not being used by another read me plug-in.
What's in this folder:
"Plug-in Sources" folder: Contains a Metrowerks 10 project and source files to build the Generic Read Me plug-in file.
"Working Example" folder: Contains the necessary files to create an Upgrader example based on the "Mac OS 8.1 Install" Upgrader document that shows the Generic Read Me(GRM) plug-in in action. To create a working example, drag the contents of the "Add these files to Upgrader" folder into a copy of the "Upgrader 1.1.1 Application" folder, then drag the contents of the "Add these files to ModifierTool" folder into a copy of the "ModifierTool 1.1.1b3 App." folder. The "Mac OS 8.1 Install w/Generic RM" Upgrader document has been set up to run the GRM plug-in after the existing read me plug-in. Drop the "Mac OS 8.1 Install w/Generic RM" file on the ModifierTool application to edit the actions of the GRM plug-in.
