QuickBASIC's ToolBox Statement Can't Call Routines Not in ROM (33055)
This article was previously published under Q33055
SUMMARY
Any ROM routine listed in "Inside Macintosh" (by Apple Computer and
published by Addison-Wesley) that is marked "Not in ROM" cannot be
called from Microsoft QuickBASIC with the ToolBox statement. Some
other high-level languages supply routine-specific "glue" code to make
these calls, which the ToolBox statement in QuickBASIC cannot provide.
You could use one of these other languages to create an MBPC (pure
code) resource to provide the required interface to the routine you
need. MBPC support files are provided in QuickBASIC for LightSpeed C,
MPW Assembler, C, and Pascal.
This article applies to Microsoft QuickBASIC Version 1.00 for the
Apple Macintosh.
