My Menv Notify C

What: utility C++ functions/classes for a few very common Mac chores Highlights: - posting of synchronous _and_ asynchronous notifications - printf() in an alert box - "magic" conversion from a C to Pascal string - do_well() macro to make sure a "system call" went well - handling of mandatory Apple Events: OpenApplication, {Open|Print}Document, Quit: registering C++ classes as recipients of AppleEvents a trick of relaying AppleEvents to (abstract) C++ classes for processing - template of a generic drop box: an application that handles files dropped upon it - with the complete source and comments/explanations Keywords: notification, AppleEvent, utility, registration, dropbox, programming support, environment Note: The environment is used in most of my Mac software (incl. the one submitted to the Info-Mac) Language: C++, CodeWarrior9 System: System 7.1 - 7.5.3, binaries are made for a PowerMac. Comments to: oleg@ponder.csci.unt.edu, oleg@unt.edu Version 2.0, June 1996 New in version 2.0 - renamed myenv.* into mymenv.* to avoid name conflicts with my (UNIX) C++ environment - renamed message()/_error() into alert()/_die() for the same reason: the former (declared in my advanced C++ i/o package) write into a SIOUX console; the latter functions display an alert - "magic" conversion from C to Pascal string - Handling of Mandatory Apple Events OpenApplication, {Open|Print}Document, Quit - Now works under CW9 (the previous version was compiled with Symantec C++ 6.0)
