In article 870080@hpcilzb.HP.COM, Ted Johnson asks: >What are "Glue Routines"...? The answer is very simple. Glue routines are small code segments that take variables from the stack and put them into data and/or address registers, and vice-versa. This is necessary because some of the routines residing in the Mac rom expect their variables passed in registers, and high level languages like Pascal or C pass program variables on the stack. Inside Macintosh can tell you which Toolbox routines are stack based and which are register based. I hope this helps. J. Deline
