Hi,
could you possibly elaborate what SIGTSTP does? I was always thinking
about having suspend/resume work the way most people would expect them to
under MultiFinder/System 7.x/MacOS 8.x: when the application is switched to
back/front. From what I have heard from folks at Apple (and judged from the
Carbon docs) this will still be present, even though some people rumoured
that MacOS X wouldn't have that.
Anyway, my suggestion would be to leave it out at the moment, as the only
people who would rely on it would be those running the old "single" Finder
(and I think it wouldn't be too smart to support MacOS 6.x and earlier -- I
would leave that to another port).
