Welcome to the forum IIsi. Hope you stick around so we can pick your brain.

I use linux. I'm awesome. The two are unrelated.

Kallikak and porter, Yeah, you guys are right, what I assumed was a loop using WaitNextEvent was not. I haven't changed the code yet (Basilisk wasn't cooperating), but I'm sure that's indeed the problem. Thanks.

The TADS comment was a joke. I appreciate your efforts, and enjoy the technical post.

Thanks!

I can't figure this out. When I turn on my Apple //e the just says "Apple //e" at the top, and nothing else happens. I was expecting a prompt for Apple Basic. The Apple //e emulator I have does the same thing, so I'm guessing the computer is working, I'm just clueless. I looked for some...

apollogyzing is uneccesary.

It's from a programming book. An example of how to make a full screen application. There's event handling going on. Although the cursor is hidden, and in OS9 it takes the screen shot as soon as I quit tha app.... Hmm...

Why don't you just ports TADS? ;) What are you writing the interactive fiction engine in?

Ok, I swear I posted this question early today, and can't find the orignal post anywhere, so I'm asking again.... I have an app that runs a full screen window that has no menubar and is not a screen saver. I can't get a screenshot to happen under system 6 (and I'm 80% sure I tried under system...

I'm curious... I know that the LCIII can't run system 6, but I'm curious as to why 68k macs that can run system 7 can't run system 6. Does it have to do with a hardware limitation (memory management, rom setup) or is it a limitation put in place by Apple that could be reverse engineered? Sorry...

"It's Aliiiive!!"

I've never seen the signed paper before, that sure makes it easier to read. The 4 signatures you picked are interesting. It's sort of fascinating to find out which mac developers mac fans honor/relate to/whatever. It's kind of like those web polls that were popular several years ago...

Nope. Been running it for many many months at least, with ethernet plugged in and working. Access to internet. etc. Not a neglected or recently resurrected box. Anyway, makes me scratch my head.

How's everything else feeling? Enjoying the distraction free word processing? Keyboard working out? Missing anything about a more modern system?

Sheesh, where have I been.

I have to guess that's a joke I don't get? Well, it included a firmware update with a readme file from 2001. Seems odd that it just noticed the update.

I've been running OS 9 on my iMac for many months now. All that time it's been hooked up to the internet, and running more often than not, often for weeks at a time. All of a sudden today, Software Update pops up and tells me that there are new versions of things. CarbonLib, AppleScript...

I was holding out hope for you; those are three systems I was looking forward to hearing about. Store up your retro-energy for the warmup I guess :)
