About “Extension”…
“Extension” is a simple shell for writing printing extensions.
Its default behavior adds a panel to the print dialog and makes your Macintosh beep every time a page is spooled. The extension can be turned on and off through the print panel. It's turned on by default.
This extension shows:
• How to write an extension which installs a panel, handles panel events and uses the way-cool ‘xdtl’ resources.
• How to perform simple message overrides.
• How to easily set up an A5 world so that you can access global data.
When you sit down to write your own extensions, start with this shell and change it to suit your needs. Since so much code remains the same from extension to extension, there’s no point in rewriting it all.
