debug anymore with CodeWarrior 9.5.
Every project don't work and new created projects also. :-(
I click the debug-button and no debugger-window starts; but the

I'm pretty much retired now but, like old soldiers who never die, just
fade away, I still program mostly for my own pleasure.

a small sigh escapes me. Sic transit gloria mundi eh? At least in the

Can somebody help me with how can I get an image pixels buffer data,
using Carbon and QuickTime?
I need to change some specific pixels values inside the image.

i hope somebody can help me, maybe explain something.
i try to use a code from another project and have several problems or
do not know enough about libraries, linking, and stuff...
the project i want to use can be compiled as dynamic library with xcode

BTW, before we start I know this is a bug with the x86 compiler and
Metrowerks don't support it anymore, but I thought I'd post this just for
information really. You never know, it might help someone....
Back in February I started a thread about our iSYM files becoming corrupted

So Ron, what's the latest chapter in the great roadmap saga? :-)

Geesh, I thought I would be able to get what I want with printf and
formatting floats, but, maybe it just can't be done?
what I want is decimal point "aligned" numbers, so that a double is always
formatted with 2 places to the right of the decimal point, and always 5

Running 10.4.1 and XCode 2.1
Switching to xcode from metrowerks was no pain regarding the code !
But XCode is soooo damn SLOOOOOOOW ...
Rebuilding a project takes 4 times LONGER in xcode ( all optim is even

Apologies if this is a bit off-topic.
The function below is the (PowerPC) core of a pseudo-random-number
generator which is nearly four times faster than the best C equivalent I
can write.  [The basic operation, subtract-with-borrow (subfe), is a
