Hi All,

Ok, all entries are now changed from Pascal to C! There are only some
structures left and some assembly code in the Kilo-liners chapter.
Some corrections were made in the process...

For the next release I decided to include the updates released between the
previous release and the new one. This gives others an incentive to
subscribe, and provides an easy way to see the changes made. It's already
one of the results of the survey...
Did you sent in yours already?

BTW, the Developer CD for October contains some interesting sample code
which shows how to check for the Icon Utilities and also for the System
architecture and processor type.

Bye,
Rene

Unknown Gestalt Selector Codes
==============================

Apple Software
--------------
|bugx (7.5.2 Printing Fix)
      (System [7.5])
      (System Update ext [3.0])

|     enum {

      NOTE:
      The System Update reserves the 'bugx', 'bugy' and 'bugz' gestalt
      selectors to indicate which fixes are installed on a given machine.
      These are for Apple internal use only, and developers should not rely
      on these. There is no guarantee that they will be supported in future
      versions of Macintosh system software. &AT06

 gpad (General Controls cp [7.5])
      gestaltGeneralControlsAddr?
|     Returns the address to the long value returned by the 'gprf'
|     selector to change that value. (Jon Pugh)

      #define gestaltGeneralControlsAddr? 'gpad'

 gprf (General Controls cp [7.5])
      gestaltGeneralControlsAttr?
      Returns information about the settings made in the General Controls
      control panel.

      enum {

About this list
===============
For this update this chapter only includes the 'Gestalt Submission Form',
'Acknowledgements' and 'Editors' Address' sections.

Gestalt Submission Form
-----------------------
You can use this form to report information you found on already included
selectors. But you can also use it to register new Gestalt selector codes.
If you want to register the selector code your software installs, make sure
you registered your code first with Apple Computer, Inc. Also, it is your
good right if you chose to keep the meaning of the response value private.
If so, still register so that others can at least detect your software by
determining if the selector is present.

Software means, in this form, the software which installs the selector
code. Not the whole package, just the extension or control panel (perhaps
application) itself.
The package is the product name in which the software is included and
distributed.
If data is not available or relevant, leave it blank. When the selector
contains non-ASCII characters, please also provide the hexadecimal value.
