Ron, I had the same type of problem with one of my OSX externals. I don't know if this will help, but here's what I did: First, I had the external re-compiled as a bundle (from the code that was used to make the original CODE resource and DLL). So, it was now named "Spell.bundle". I placed "Sp

Greetings... I use a 'CODE' resource in my standalone ('DLL' for windows). PPC and Windows works fine. But, what do I do for OSX? There is no place in the standalone builder to add a resource file. Being a OSX novice, I could use some assistance/guidance. Thanks! -Dan ___

DiskSize

Greetings... The Goal: To determine if the user is opening a file from a floppy disk. Proposed Solution: The only thing I can think to do this is to use the capacity of the disk. If it's less than 2MB, I can assume it's a floppy. Do you agree? Now, there is no diskSize function that I know of

1.1.1 Buttons in 2.0

2003-06-06 Thread Dan Friedman
I opened a stack created in 1.1.1 in 2.0. All the buttons that were set as "Standard" appear as if they were 1.1.1's "Rectangle" buttons. And the "Rectangle" buttons don't have the same appearance as a new rectangle button. If I delete the original button and create a new one it's fine. Can any

Chipp, I checked the externals of the stack and it looks fine. When I save and rerun it, it works fine. Even in a standalone. However, if I move the standalone to another directory, it fails -- even though I am setting the externals to the correct path, then closing and reopening the stack. Wh
