I'm currently working on building the first release of Mozilla for PPC mac. based on what I'm looking at it had a build target of a PPC mac running MacOS 7.6. the 68k c++ seems to be present in the source as the maintainers were asking for someone to devise a 68k build of Mozilla, but no one...

Hey everyone, I've been on a search for a few days now for a particular developer tool that was once available for download from ftp.apple.com It's called ToolFrontEnd, It was a plugin that allowed developers to run MPW commands from codewarrior as part of their automated build scripts. Why do...

I was talking about file timestamps specifically its impossible for a file created on a mac to have an actual creation date prior to 1984. If I have any scrap of success it's obviously going to be a hack and have downsides, so if someone is using an LC to keep track of an accounting ledger in...

I'm sure that there will be some, however the amount of effort that is required to actually write a calendar routine with no bugs in it when apple supplied a perfectly good one in the macintosh toolbox on day one makes me wonder if there were really that many people who felt the need to reinvent...

Since my last post I've also put some thought into it, I hate the idea of screwing up the timestamps on everything so I was actually leaning toward reusing some of the dates prior to 1984 since it's impossible for any timestamps to actually occur before the mac itself. The Gregorian Calendar...

After pouring over the Inside Macintosh reference, it appears that the time is represented by a 32 bit unsigned long int inside the clock chip. It represents the number of seconds since midnight, January 1st 1904 (Why they chose 1904 is beyond me) The Date/Time controlpanel that ships with 7.6...

aren't all macs y2k compliant? i thought we were good until 2040 or something.

this did it: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/mac/OSUtilities/OSUtilities-192.html#MARKER-9-66 I needed to lock the INIT resource inside my extension, after doing so it stopped crashing.

I'll check this out, I have a copy of  Inside Macintosh volumes 1-6 but I don't have the Operating System Utilities Book, thanks for the link. I think the next thing I'll try is changing the resource from a dialog to an alert, since appleshare appears to be displaying an alert. I'll see if I...

yeah? where can I get it? does it work with System 6? Edit: I still want to make mine work, as I'm a determined programmer.

I'm an experience programmer on modern hardware, and I thought I would try my hand at creating some classic mac os software. I purchased volumes 1-6 of Inside Macintosh on Amazon and I've been familiarizing myself with the basic ideas. Heres my current goal. I've got a few macs that will run...
