Hi,
1) What do I do if I want to store up my own customized icon for the ReadMe file ? 2) Is this possible at all from another platform like Windows? (using the resource fork of the file to dump my bitmap of the icon perhaps?) 3) Somebody said I would have to necessarily include sth. in the DTDB/DF files which I've copied into my Wrapper from a freshly initialized HFS-Volume on the Mac ? Is this true ? Can one even do without it ?
Where could I find relevant info about using Resource forks ? This has really been a vague topic to me until now. My head is spinning with Bundle bits and Finder flags right now...
Please do help. -Nandini

Hi,
It's probably pretty simple for testing purposes to remove the pointers to
the
"wrapped" HFS+ volume; the resulting disk image should then be just
another
HFS disk and you can use all the usual disk verification tools directly on
it
to see if there are any inconsistencies found. If all is well and you can double-click your "ReadMe" and see what you expect you can be reasonably confident that a user on a non-HFS+-savvy system would see exactly that,
too.
Good luck, -Pat Dirks.

Hello Listers, Thanks to the friendly feedback I got I managed to
get
started off with including an HFS-Wrapper in my code. It seems to work ok
now
but I'm not too sure... I only have access to an iMac with MacOS 9 - my
HFS+
Volume gets displayed but how do I get to verify if the ReadMe I'm
creating in
the Wrapper is ok ? The volume is recognized as an HFS+ Volume (since the embedded volume seems to be getting mounted directly) and I can do a
GetInfo
on it. Do I necessarily need an older Mac which doesn't support HFS+ to
get to
see the ReadMe ?
I have one more question - Is it possible to have a Wrapper for
HFS-volumes
as well - embedding an HFS-volume within another HFS-Volume ? I guess
this
wouldn't have any benefits as such but theoretically it should be
possible,
right ?

The really bad thing about software is debugging it is a real nightmare when you weed one bug out then ten new ones will sprout 'til you get as mad as a march hare
