Hopefully these answers go with your questions:
1. -> Tml supports what they call "Plain Vanilla" Pascal, where you don't have
to worry about all the MacStuff (sorry about the MacPun) envolved with
the toolbox. Just start your program with Program <name> (input,output)
and tml will do all the tough stuff for you. You can then use Pascal i/o.
I'm not sure how, this works if you want plain vanilla and other windows,
2. How to make a PICT resource out of a macpaint doc? The easiest way is
to just clip out what you want in MacPaint and put it into the scrapbook.
Then, go to resedit, and open a new file, and create a Pict resource,
then paste from the scrapbook to the PICT resource. You can then (if
you want to decompile it, and put the hex codes into a RMAKER file for
permanent storage. (Off course this method limits your Pictures to the
size of MacPaint window.)
Accessing it from within a program is fairly simple. just call
the function getpict and store your picture into a picthandle, then
put it on the screen with drawpicture.
eq...
mypicthandle := getpict(thepictid);
drawpicture(mypicthandle,theenclosingrect)
