Re my previous question about calling directly into assembly language:
The following command works, in Think C at any rate, as an in line
macro.  This saves the trouble of doing in-line assembly or messing
with CallPascal commands, and makes the code that much more readable:

pascal OSErr BitMapToRegion(RgnHandle region, BitMap *bMap) = 0xA8D7;

Think C accepts the assignment as a function definition.


Thanks to those who responded.
