Hi Tuviah,
In CompileIt! one can define a structure by naming each referenced element and specifying its data type and byte offset from the beginning.
Tuvia, et al:
I forgot to mention one other neat thing about CompileIt!: not only were virtually all ToolBox calls predefined in the master symbol lists; but the names of most parameter packet elements were there as well. All that was necessary to reference a call and its parameter elements was to have CompileIt! place them in the active symbol table. After that it was simply a matter of looking up the call in Inside Macintosh and use [email protected] syntax to build & retrieve data from parameter packets.
