Hi James,
It looks like it crashes at UpgradeScriptInfoToTextEncoding. When I step
through makeNewLCPTranscoder(), the first line it allows me to stop at is
the first "if(status == noErr)", and it crashes before I can even get there.
I've tried getting it to be NULL if nothing was found like you mentioned,
but then it still crashed.
So, if it is the unicode converter, how do I know if my Mac has a one
installed? And if there is where/how do I get one to install it?
If not, what else can I do?
Also, thanks for the help on the "Classic" vs. "Carbon" issue. Would it
make a difference if I built it as a Carbon release? From what I
understand, since I'm on OS 8.6, it won't, or at least until it goes to an
OS 9.x or OS X. But I did have to download the Carbon SDK from apple, and
use the CarbonLib to build the Classic target. Did I mess something up
doing that?
