I've set up a simple direct display routine using
 CGDisplayBaseAddress()
 CGDisplayCapture()
 CGDisplayBeamPosition()

I'm writing a script to start an application, which begins by doing
this:
#!/bin/sh
BASEDIR=`dirname "$0"`

When building to carbon 10.4 Universal almost everything's deprecated but it
doesn't list what you should use instead. Can't find anything on
developer.apple.com. Is there anything out there which gives alternatives to
all these deprecated functions?

I had been using QD to draw bitmap PICT resources to the screen, but
OSX 10.4 has deprecated them. How do you do this under the new regime?
Thanks,

I've looked at old discussions in this newsgroup about people
struggling to use the Sound Manager (of System 7 +, up to OS9 PPCs) and

I have some other questions as well :-)

I have a very basic NSSavePanel question:
How do I disable the "... already exists. Do you want to replace it?"
dialog box when an existing file is chosen?

I'm sure this has been asked many times but is there any sample code to
record audio, into a buffer, using NSSound? NSSound seems to be only for
playback. Can't find anything on Apple's website about Cocoa sound
recording.

Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong with my
installation/project? I have a working (in XCode 1.5 or so) fairly
complicated project that I'm trying to work on now that I've upgraded
to OS 10.4 and xcode 2. But, when I try to compile it, the linker

I'm a Mac lightweight who needs help uninstalling these applications.
I managed to install subversion and the scplugin on my boss' mac laptop
to try them out.  We determined they weren't what we wanted.
How do I go about uninstalling subversion and scplugin?

I am new to programming on Mac OSX. I am writing a program and want to
know where I should store user settings for my program.
In Windows programming I would use the registry. What do I use in Mac
OSX? Would I use a file? If so how can I determine the location that

I recently ran into a serious redraw problem with Tiger (10.4.2).
What I wanted to achieve was a seamless integration of a Safari web view
into a carbon application. The main window of the application itself
isn't composited (and I can't change this), thus using an HIView
