- First, forgive me if this is a silly question, but what is MPW?
- What's it used for, and why would I want to use it? My school
- has a site license for it, so I can get ahold of it... should I?
-
- Secondly, I've been playing around with Think C, and one thing
- I noticed is that several functions mentioned in Inside Mac seem
- to have different names under Think C. I'd rather write code the
- way Inside Mac says to, so I've created a file called thinkc.h
- that currently contains:
-
- #define AppendResMenu AddResMenu
- #define GetMenuHandle GetMHandle
- #define GetMenuItemText GetItem
-
- ...and so on. My question is: why? Why doesn't Think C use the
- "standard" names for these functions?
