Shraddhan, I've been trying to send you the following as C-mail for over a week; I just realized why it keeps coming back: I'm missing one number in your ID, probably a "3" because my "3" key is erratic. Thanks for your offer of help. How come you get to go on holidays and I don't? 🙂 When I was looking for a way to make ASL file requesters selective and saw the RKM example for getting only .info files, I thought that (reversing) that would be the way to go, because having a "Pattern ~.info" showing in the requester seemed declasse. Then I discovered the old "hidden pattern" trick, and for practical purposes my problem is solved. It is a minor annoyance to me still that I can't figure out from the C example in question how the hook function I write and the system agree on where the AnchorPath structure is. In fact, I can't even find the requester call in the program example! But maybe by the time I really need to know, I will have learned enough to figure it out for myself. You have saved me many hours of frustration over the past couple of years. I really appreciate it. Bart Distribution:

Bart, Yes, I'd been wondering why I hadn't heard from you. Here's my alternative address (via the Internet), with no '3's in it: shraddhan@cix.compulink.co.uk > How come you get to go on holidays? It's a perk of the job, which I use as much as possible to help me maintain some resemblance of sanity… As for C, it's something I never managed to get along with. Some time ago, I decided to give it one more try. I wrote a 150K program, but then had to implement a tricky algorithm which I didn't quite understand, and found that the C environment I was using was too user-unfriendly to allow me to proceed. The program is still lying around somewhere on my HD… I'm glad I've been able to help. At least _someone_ appreciates me 🙂 Regards, Shraddhan (via AP from Hertfordshire, England)
