Re: [MacPerl-Toolbox] QuickDraw and MacWindows

Hi-
I modified my copy of EasyWindow as Kevin Reid suggested. Here is what I
did:
In the subroutine DRAWING, change $draw = $str; into $draw = eval "sub
 $str }";
In the subroutine WINDOW, where the redraw hook is defined, change
val( $draw ) into &{ $draw }
--Quentin
