Folks:
 
I'm in the process of writing a few modules, among them "sDA" (DA Supervisor)
and "cMEL" (Main Event Loop Collection) for our libraries. I am trying to
cover as many bases as I possibly can in a general-case piece of code.
 
At the moment, I have a do-nothing DA running both standalone and in THINK's
debugging environment.
 
The thing I can't seem to get to work is the goodbye kiss. I go ahead and
whack the DCE's control flags with the appropriate bit mask, but I'm not
getting any goodbye kiss when I tell the host app to quit (as opposed to
actually closing the DA). Here's a code snippet:
 
	static mERR_code DrvrOpen ( DCtlPtr pDCE ) {
		mERR_code e;
	
		if ( ! pDCE -> dCtlStorage )	return ( kDrvrOpenFail );
		if ( gOpenStatus )		return ( kDrvrOpenFail );
 
		/* other stuff */
	
		pDCE -> dCtlFlags |= dNeedGoodBye | dNeedTime;
		gOpenStatus = eAlreadyOpen;
		return ( noErr );
	}
 
I have also tried
 
		pDCE -> dCtlFlags |= dNeedGoodBye | dNeedTime;
 
during every call to the DA, regardless of the message. That doesn't help.
 
I actually did have the goodbye kiss working at one point, but that was before
I got the close message working, and now the goodbye kiss has stopped coming
through.
 
Ideas?
