memory and then resEdit
Quote from Forum Archives on December 9, 1997, 11:54 pmPosted by: bkrueger <bkrueger@...>
I have two questions for the field of experts:1) I have built an application from about 32 lines of code. Nothing
fancy, just a menu with one option (quit), text resource from resEdit, and
a window with a scroll button. FB currently has a preferred size of 4000K.
When the application has been built, it also has a preferred size of
4000K. "About this macintosh..." indicates that only a small fraction of
that 4000K is actually being used, and it seem to me that the preferred
size of the application can be reduced.How far can I go, is it going to be a trial and error, or can I predict how
much memory is necessary?2) When using resEdit for creating text, I was able to put color in the
text by the cut/paste routine from a word processor.Is there another way inside resEdit, or is that the only way possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.
