Forgot to mention, wasn't there an article or two about using C68 to work with Things in Ql Today? I couldn't find them when I scanned old copies but...

I did see Jochen's articles (but only 3 - was there a 4th) back in Volume 4 I believe.

Thanks,

Another request for help - this time in coverting most of QDT into executable things.

I am writing it in C68 and I see that C68 has all the calls and structures to link in new Things and access them. But the questions are:

1) how can I make an executable piece of code generated with C68 into an Executable thing that I can load into memory and link into the thing list

2) how would I pass parameters to it?

3) do I have to generate separate data space for each instance of an executable being used or would the normal C variables be isolated from different calls to the same executable code.

Without doing things, QDT will end up with a lot of duplicate code (every open folder and every desktop icon calls an executable presently).

Thanks,
jim
