Re: Finding strings in JapaneseOS

[Richard Bram]

Thanks, Ken. That sounds like it will solve my problem.
>From the 3.1 documentation, it looks like I should just test for
the presence of TxtPrepFindString by doing:

err = FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumIntlMgr,
&value);

and if that works, then call away. I can find sysFtrCreator (that's 'psys')
but I can't seem to find the value of sysFtrNumIntlMgr. Do you
know it offhand?

Also, the 3.1 Systraps.h doesn't seem to list TxtPrepFindString.
Can you tell me the trap number for it, so I can link it in
to my (pre-3.1) code?

Thanks for your help,

Rick Bram
