-Notes about MoreFiles, dnr.c & other non-Tcl source files
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-RCS: @(#) $Id: morefiles.doc,v 1.2 1998/09/14 18:40:04 stanton Exp $
-
-The Macintosh distribution uses several source files that don't
-actually ship with Tcl. This sometimes causes problems or confusion
-to developers. This document should help clear up a few things.
-
-dnr.c
------
-
-We have found a way to work around some bugs in dnr.c that
-Apple has never fixed even though we sent in numerous bug reports.
-The file tclMacDNR.c simply set's some #pragma's and the includes
-the Apple dnr.c file. This should work the problems that many of
-you have reported with dnr.c.
-
-More Files
-----------
-
-Macintosh Tcl/Tk also uses Jim Luther's very useful package called
-More Files. More Files fixes many of the broken or underfunctional
-parts of the file system.
-
-More Files can be found on the MetroWerks CD and Developer CD from
-Apple. You can also down load the latest version from:
-
- ftp://members.aol.com/JumpLong/
-
-The package can also be found at the home of Tcl/Tk for the mac:
-
- ftp://ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl/mac/
-
-I used to just link the More Files library in the Tcl projects.
-However, this caused problems when libraries wern't matched correctly.
-I'm now including the files in the Tcl project directly. This
-solves the problem of missmatched libraries - but may not always
-compile.
-
-If you get a compiliation error in MoreFiles you need to contact
-Jim Luther. His email address:
-
- JumpLong@aol.com
-
-The version of More Files that we use with Tcl/Tk is 1.4.3. Early
-version may work as well..
-
-Unfortunantly, there is one bug in his library (in 1.4.3). The bug is
-in the function FSpGetFullPath found in the file FullPath.c. After
-the call to PBGetCatInfoSync you need to change the line:
-
- if ( result == noErr )
-
- to:
-
- if ( (result == noErr) || (result == fnfErr) )
-
-
-The latest version of More Files is 1.4.6. Unfortunantly, this
-version has a bug that keeps it from working with shared libraries
-right out of the box. If you want to use 1.4.6 you can but you will
-need to make the following fix:
-
- In the file "Opimization.h" in the More Files package you
- need to remove the line "#pragma internal on". And in the
- file "OptimazationEnd.h" you need to remove the line
- "#pragma internal reset".
-
-Note: the version of MoreFile downloaded from the Sun Tcl/Tk site
-will have the fix included. (If you want you can send email to
-Jim Luther suggesting that he use Tcl for regression testing!)
