I've been looking at the Apple DTS Sample Code available from various
FTP sites. Some of it appears to do things I want to do.

Is there any great difficulty in porting to THINK Pascal from MPW ?
I think I can handle different compiler directives and Uses clauses OK.

Some bits that I see as potential stumbling blocks are expressions
such as:

          gdFlags := 2 ** noDriver;

(so what is the ** operation?) from offscreen.incl.p in SC.016.OffSample.
And what to do with the assembly code in the UFailure unit, also in
SC.016.OffSample ?

Or should I just be getting general ideas from this code, without
wholesale porting ?

Thanks for any comments or advice.
