Hack #1: Easy as pi
===================
Easy as pi dcmd
Created at MacHack 2000 by Philippe Casgrain

This dcmd does the reverse of the 'pp' dcmd, that is given the proper
MixedMode information it will return the hex value for the ProcInfoType.
To use, put it in the 'Macsbug preferences' folder of your Preferences
folder and reboot. Obviously, MacsBug must be installed. Invoke it by
typing 'pi' or 'help pi' at the MacsBug command line.
This hack is actually useful to non-C programmers since they don't have
access to the macros in MixedMode.h to build the ProcInfoType from
scratch each time the source is compiled.
Hack #2: useful (not!)
======================
useful dcmd (not!)
Created at MacHack 2000 by Philippe Casgrain
philippe@casgrain.com
This dcmd writes 'useful' in pseudo-blocky letters (created with Ascii Paint) to
Macsbug' output. It's just a one-liner to reply to the 'useful!' shouts that are
certain to accompany my 'Easy as pi' dcmd demo since that dcmd *is* actually
useful...
This hack has no calories and no redeeming values. It was created in exactly 5
minutes and it shows.
