I'm currently writing an application that will provide a service to  
other applications under NS 3.0.  However, I can't get other  
applications to recognize the fact that my application is indeed  
providing a service.

I've tried placing copies in /LocalApps and ~/Apps as per instructions,  
but to no avail.  It doesn't help that the documentation in Librarian  
gives TWO possible link commands for the Makefile.preamble.  I've tried  
*both*.

I've tried using different send and return types, but it doesn't seem to  
make a difference.  My ultimate goal is to provide a service that  
doesn't require any information, thus providing the service from any  
application with a service menu.  However, I haven't been able to even  
get an enabled or disabled menu item to appear anywhere.

Below is an abridged version of what I have.  I've tried changing the  
main() function to give the commands to theListener (Application  
listener), but it didn't make a difference.

I've also tried the dynamic method of installing the services.text  
information in ~/Library/Services in a file called BlahBlah.service, and  
then called NXUpdateDynamicServices().  No luck.  Since I know exactly  
what I want to do, I'd like to avoid this method.

Any help will be MUCH appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

Makefile.preamble

#
# Set up the services handler
#

LDFLAGS = -sectcreate __ICON __services services.text

#LDFLAGS = -segcreate __ICON __services services.text


services.text:

Message: getMail
Port: PopOver
Send Type: NXAsciiPboard
Send Type: NULL
Return Type: NXAsciiPBoard
Return Type: NULL
Menu Item: Retrieve Mail
Key Equivalent: R


Controller.m (File Owner delegate, connected via IB):

- appDidInit:sender
{
	id theListener;

	theListener = [NXApp appListener];
	[theListener setServicesDelegate:self];
	return self;
	
}

- getMail:(id)pasteboard 
	userData:(const char *)userData 
	error:(char **)msg
{
	[self retrieveMail:self];
	return self;
}

- retrieveMail:sender
{
	blah blah; // do stuff

	return self;
}
