Subject: Administrivia

  Welcome to the alt.sources.mac digest.  Currently, I am
the moderator of the archive.  I thought I would post this
message to show everyone what has been accumulating at the
archive site.

  Your contributions are highly recommended and accepted.
If you don't have access to the alt.sources.mac newsgroup,
you can email your contribution to me ([e-mail])
and I will add it to the archive, or you can upload it to
the /ftp/pub/incoming directory at the archive site.

  A new directory has been created in the /ftp/pub/other
directory.  It is the 'apprentice' directory and will contain
files that didn't make it to the CD as well as fixes for
what is on the CD (if there are any ;-)

  Thanks for your support of the alt.sources.mac newsgroup
as well as the archive here at ftpbio.  Any other suggestions
or comments that you might have are welcome and encouraged.

Subject: TSM Floating Windows: "appe Windows" Shell

If you have seen the new Speech Manager, then you know that a background
only application can put a window onto the screen (contrary to popular
belief). The new Text Services Manager in System 7.1 offers documented
hooks for creating, disposing, and handling floating windows. These
windows are layer independent (they are floating above all programs
and windows), and work without patching traps (well, a quick jGNEFilter,
but no traps).

This program demonstrates a shell application that puts a TSM window
onto the screen, and intercepts update, click, and key events. Filling
in the handler functions is the easiest way to put up your own floater.
Wrapper functions restore global context, current resource file, GrafPort,
and heap zone, to make standard handling routines much easier to write.

Of course the program is background only, so it is typically launched
from the Extensions Folder at startup. I like the close box on floater
windows, because its an easy way to quit the program without relying
on a quit Apple Event. I have added support for hiding all windows
with Cmd-Escape, and to respond to screen savers and programs that
take over the screen (hide the menu bar).

Finally, I want this to be a stable mechanism for something that you
shouldn't be able to do. Despite the interface guidelines, there may
be a use for doing this. Please send me bug reports and suggestions
for improving this tool.

Subject: ascii (C)

An old C source file I found, built the .rsrc file, then got to run on
Think C.  For Think C 5, just add the .c file and MacTraps to your new
project.

This program makes an ascii chart type character display.  You clik on a
character in the grid and it's inserted in the sample string.  Type a
character and the one in the grid is momentarily highlighted.

This is the sound demo by Marv Westrom, that he posted about a year ago.
It works exactly as before, but I have corrected the source to conform
better to Mac programming standards, plus shrunk the sound (with no loss
in quality). Think Pascal source. Project and resource files included.

Try this.  The following was written when Think C first came out with
the objected oriented extensions, and was my first attempt to use
them, which is why it goes a bit overboard.  The first two files
below define an object oriented interface to the SCSI manager.
The third file scans the SCSI bus looking for a tape drive.
At the end, I'll tell you where to change it to look for a
CD-ROM drive.

Subject: Deps - generate Makefile dependencies

"Deps" is an MPW tool which generates Makefile dependencies out of
the #include's in the source files. It is written by Archie Cobbs.
I found it in csmp some time ago and now hacked it a little to
remove duplicates. The source is nothing great, but the tool works
pretty good. I use it regularly now during development of a project
with some 15 headers and 35 implementation files. Maybe this helps
some people who recently asked about such a tool.

C source code for dimming text items (editText or statText) in dialogs.
When dimmed, editText items become uneditable.  True gray is used when
possible.  Dimmed items update correctly, and no extra dialog items are
needed.  Set up for use with Apple's universal headers (not those that come
with THINK C 6.)  Includes project files for THINK C 7.0 and CodeWarrior C
68K, and a demo application.

Subject: du for BBEdit (THINK C)

Here's a quick-n-dirty BBEedit extension that lets you check where all
the space on your hard disk has gone.  You select a starting folder,
and it makes a listing of the sizes of said folder and all the folders
it contains.  The list goes into a new window.  The sizes it reports
are in blocks (yes, that's the physical size, not logical size).  That
seemed to be easier on the eyes than lots of numbers with 6 or 7
digits in them.

Subject: MovableModal Library

Introduction

Movable modal dialogs are probably one of the coolest user interface
enhancements that came with System 7.  Unfortunately, implementing
a movable modal dialog according to the guidelines detailed in
Inside Macintosh VI may not be trivial.  A movable modal dialog box
isn’t just a modal dialog with a drag bar.  In fact, says the
Bible:

“Allow your application to run in the background when you display a
movable modal dialog box.” (IM VI, 2-25)

Given this requirement, your application cannot call ModalDialog
when a movable modal dialog is in front, because ModalDialog
disables the application menu and prevents major context switches
from occurring. That’s too bad, as ModalDialog is a very handy
call.  Wouldn’t it be great if a similar call existed for movable
modal dialogs too?


The Library

Here is it!  The library that comes with this document implements
three routines that let you work with movable modal dialogs in a
simple way.

MungeImage © Quinn & Peter N Lewis, 21:30 6 May 1994 - 5:30 7 May 1994

Source to the rather suspect utility MungeImage
which mounts DiskCopy images as disk icons.
It's free, do whatever you want with it.

Warning: This was written in eight hours.

v1.0.1 has colour icons and fixes the creator code and a double dispose bug

Subject: Offscreen Toys 1.1 (Pascal)

Here's a new version of Offscreen Toys, the demo I made to complement
SAT (Sprite Animation Toolkit), for those who want to know how it works.
(I believe in small, digestable demos for tutorials - and for quick down-
loading!)

The program makes an animation of marbles rolling in a bowl. It is
fairly well commented, and is a complete, stand-alone program with
menus, window handling etc.

Works in color when 32-bit QuickDraw is available, but uses b/w graphics
otherwise.

This version adds a better collision handling, making the collisions much
more realistic.

I wouldn't say that this is a GOOD patch utility, but it gets the job done.
Several years ago, I took a script Larry Rosenstein wrote to update the
source code for his Programming with MacApp book, and modified it to be a
little more flexible and powerful. It now not only patches source files,
but it also creates the patch files, works with hierarchical directories,
and will revert to the original source code if needed. This is an MPW
script, so not only do you need MPW, but it'll run like a dog...an old
dog...

Subject: Update: Progress CDEFs 1.3 (CDEF, TC source, test app)

This is an update to my "Progress CDEFs" I posted about 6 weeks
ago.  The demo application (included) shows a horizontal progress
bar, a verical progress bar that looks like a thermometer (note that
the Progress Bar CDEF automatically detects whether it should draw
horizontally or vertically), and a "progress arc", so you can "dare
to be different". :-)

Attached is a compressed archive which contains the following:

 . Progress Bar CDEF v1.3, THINK C source, TC7 project file
 . Progress Arc CDEF v1.3, THINK C source, TC7 project file

a little bit better, by handling suspend/resume and Apple Events (just
quit), plus supporting color. Useful as tutorial on Mac event processing
and as skeleton program.

Subject: Dan's Source Converter (Part 1 of 2)

Enclosed is version 1.1 of Dan's Source Converter (Application only).
This programme uses a simple single pass parser to convert C source Code
into Pascal.

Changes from version 1.0: I added two options under the 'Edit' menu.
One option displays the converted code on the screen, which slows down
the translation a lot.  The second option removes all '&' from the C
code.  I also fixed a few bugs and now remove '\p' from the begining of
strings.  Hex numbers are now converted properly, e.g., from 0x1234 to
$1234.

/ftp/pub - root directory for the archive.  All available files
  can be found in this directory.

/ftp/pub/alt.sources.mac - Contains all articles posted to the
  alt.sources.mac newsgroup as well as some items posted to the
  comp.sys.mac.programmer newsgroup.  Also, any files uploaded
  to the incoming folder are put here.  All of the files are
  compressed using CompactPro and BinHex.  The files also include
  an information file with the extension .info which explain what
  the archive contains.  The 00abstracts file contains abstracts
  of the files in the directory.

/ftp/pub/alt.sources.mac/00snippets - Contains small pieces of
  code in a textual form (no compression or BinHexing).  The
  00index file contains a brief description of each snippet.

  scripting system available for the Mac (i.e. AppleScript or
  Frontier).

  newsgroup.

/ftp/pub/digests - Contains all of the digests posted for the
