I tried. Something about needing a newline after every
64 characters wrt BINHEX 4.0? Well, I tried that and it
also failed. Fine.
Here are the Inside Mac errors I received:
1) Color Manager
* IM V-147: CompProc procedure is really a function.
Should also note that CompProcs are only used in 1-bit
GrafPorts to find contrasting colors that won't be the same
as background colors.
* Color Table Format, V-135, 136 ctFlags should be transIndex
* V-143, aTable needs to be locked
2) Color QuickDraw
V-61/62
BitClear trap should be BitClr
Code ( BitClr(Ptr(HiliteMode,pHiliteBit)); should read:
BitClr(Ptr(HiliteMode), pHiliteBit);
HiliteMode is usually not available to Pascal progrms,
you need to define it as: const HiliteMode = $938;
3) Compatibility Guidelines
V-6
In the function declaration of SysEnvirons, SysEnvRecPtr
should be: SysEnvRec
4) Desk manager
I-446 says for DA to modify its own code; this is a BAD IDEA!
Should say: set a falg or allocate a smaller amt of private
storage.
5) Palette Manager
V-155, "where yellowRGB is of type ColorSpec", ColorSpec
should be RGBColor.
V-165, "When you perform a SetPaletteEntry", SetPaletteEntry should
be SetEntryColor
6) QuickDraw:
I-159: PicHandlle should be PicHandle
Other errors were repeats of these listed, or suggestions for
improvements.
