Output Flags Release Notes
========================================================================
Version: CW Pro 5
Date: May 24, 1999
Author: Josef W. Wankerl
========================================================================
This directory contains a preliminary version of the Output Flags post
linker. The post linker allows you to set various properties on the
final executable file generated when you make a project.
Metrowerks does not currently offer technical support for this product.
========================================================================
Preliminary documentation
========================================================================
The Output Flags post linker lets you set various properties for your
final linked output. You must select Output Flags as a post linker in
the Target Settings pref panel before it will work. (The preference
panel for Output Flags is always visible. If you change settings in it,
but you don't have the post linker selected in the Target Settings
panel, no changes will be applied to your output file.)
The Output Flags preference panel has three sections of flags you can
change.
File Flags
The items in the File Flags section pertain to the output file itself,
or items in the ouput file's resource map.
o File locked - This setting controls whether or not the file is
"locked". A locked file cannot be changed or easily thrown away.
o Resource map is read-only - This setting controls a flag inside the
resource map. When the resource map is read-only, any changes made
to resources (via AddResource or ChangeResource) are only kept in
memory. No resource changes will be written out to disk.
o Printer driver is MultiFinder compatable - This setting controls a
flag inside the resource map. This flag controls the way system
resources are loaded. When the flag is set, any items marked to
load in the system heap are loaded in the application heap instead.
WARNING: Do not make any changes to the resource map when this bit
is set. (You should rarely, if ever, have to set this flag.)
Finder Flags
The items in the Finder Flags section pertain to characteristics
specific to the Finder. For complete documentation on each of these
items, refer to the Finder Interface chapter in Inside Macintosh:
Toolbox Essentials. You can find this chapter on the web at:
<http://http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/Toolbox/Toolbox-443.html>
Comments
The single edit item lets you set the comment field that shows up when
you Get Info on a file in the Finder.
