- I have quite a few Mac programming books, but none that explain the art of
- INIT writing. Can anyone recommend such a book?
-
- Specifically, the init I am currently hoping to write just has to:
- 1) Modify some files when I restart the computer
- 2) Modify some files when I shutdown the computer
- If I can do those things with an INIT, that will keep me happy for now. Later,
- I'll need to be able to: tell what keys the user is pressing, no matter what
- application he is in, yet still allow the user to get those keypress events
- to the applications.
-
- Any book recommendations? A while ago, Tim Dierks posted a long message on
- how to write an INIT, but since I don't know how to patch traps, I was a bit
- confused. Thanks for any help.
