I need to be able to mount a remote volume on my LAN automatically when
my app launches.  I can't seem to connect the dots.  The PBMountVolume
routine looks like what I need but no matter how you slice it, I always
need to know the VRefNum (Volume Ref Number) before I call the ...

In Codewarrior 9.3 compiling the Bitmagic library

I tried to use Guard Malloc on an app built with CodeWarrior, and it
won't launch. There was a message about multiple definitions of
__fpclassifyd. When I build, CodeWarrior 9.3 does give 250 link
warnings about symbols defined in both MSL_C_MACH-O_D.Lib and

I have been programming Macs for a long time and the following problem is
a constant source of aggrivation.  If anyone knows the solution, I would
love to hear it.
At some point after a project is well under way I will create an icon for
