Mac OS X Utilities plugin for REALbasic
From: Chad J McQuinn (cjm@purdue.edu)
I have made several structural changes to my OS X Utilities plugin. It has
now been divided into three separate plugins, each of whose functions use a
prefix to avoid naming conflicts. The plugins do not depend on each other.
MMisc plugin: Includes functions for manipulating the quit and preferences
menu items in the application menu, as well as for installing and managing
a standard "Window" menu. Also includes a function "IsOSXRunning", which
should be checked before using most functions in any of these plugins.
MFile plugin: Utilities for working with icons, unix paths, and 'kind strings'.
MDock plguin: Utilities for manipulating dock icons. Includes providing
animations as well as overlaying or changing your application's icon.
Sorry for the name changes, but it's the best way for me not to have to
worry about conflicts with other plugins. All three are free for all use.
Do not abuse the functions that they provide.
All plugins are carbon-only...
