One good way to find out is to check out the relevant books in the Inside Macintosh series at the http://www.apple.com/developer/ web site. They are downloadable via FTP in PDF format. Check out the QuickTime and Sound volumes. The functions used in the MacPerl toolbox modules are the same as the ones used in the Mac OS toolbox, and the modules and module docs presuppose that you have access to those books. -- Chris Nandor mailto:pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ MacPerl: Power and Ease (ISBN 1881957322), http://www.ptf.com/macperl/ %PGPKey = ('B76E72AD', [1024, '0824090B CE73CA10 1FF77F13 8180B6B6']) -- Chris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ %PGPKey=('B76E72AD',[1024,'08 24 09 0B CE 73 CA 10 1F F7 7F 13 81 80 B6 B6']) ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
