Hi, For those keeping track of things to make Xtools more portable when it is released 'for real', here's another one. I have noticed that in making resource arguments, one of the functions (Copy[ToFrom]Arg) uses bcopy(src, dst, size). Now, if src and dst are considered numbers, as opposed to text strings, this does not work the same on the VAX and the SUN. Example: short x = 0x1234; int y = 0x89abcdef; bcopy(&x, &y, sizeof(x)) On a vax: y = 0x89ab1234; but on a sun: y = 0x1234cdef; which causes many problems for arguments. To get around this, I changed all shorts to ints, but this is not a real solution. I hope something gets worked out before the real release. Otherwise, the package looks good.
