Message-ID: <636@etive.ed.ac.uk> Date: 11 Aug 88 12:17:28 GMT Sender: news@etive.ed.ac.uk Reply-To: nick@lfcs.ed.ac.uk (Nick Rothwell) Organization: Laboratory for the Foundations of Computer Science, Edinburgh U Lines: 23 Well, here I am, still thinking about getting myself Lightspeed C (when I have the cash and time - soon). In the meantime I've been soaking up information about the Mac resource management. So: If I want to write a C program which uses resources (MENU's, PICT's or whatever), then what support does LSC give? Is it possible to attach a resource file to a project, so that the resources can be built and configured as the program is being developed? I can see a scenario where I've multi-found LSC and ResEdit, and I swap between them to paste up resources and refer to them in the program. Is this on? A quick reading of IM implies that some of the resources are actually code (such as WDEF's, which are executed to draw windows - yes?). Will LSC hold my hand if I want to build these? I suppose this is a more general question about Mac software development, but I have LSC in my sights at the moment. But any comments would be welcome.
