I'm asked once for information regarding data structures used by MultiFinder -
such as the ones which tell what applications are running, how much memory
they're taking, etc..
I didn't expect to get an answer and I didn't.
Now, I ask again - but for a wider group of people.
Jasik Design's The Debugger is a lovely debugger. I prefer it over TMON and
MacsBug....
It works great - until MultiFinder came along.
When I inquired - When? I received the answer - Apple has not released enough
information on MultiFinder. So I'm not the only ignorant one!
Must we break out that copy of MacNosy that comes with the Debugger and start
disassembling MF to figure out how it works? Is this information some
big trade secret of Apple's? Inside Switcher was nice, now where's Inside
MultiFinder?
