Does anyone know exactly what happens if one tries to call a color QuickDraw
function (e.g. GetCIcon) from a non CQD machine? (e.g. a Mac Plus) I'm trying
to debug someone elses code (really! 8) ) and I think the problem is related
to this sort of situation. However, since later versions of system software
patch the ROMS, (the Plus is running 6.0.5) I thought that GetCIcon might be
patched to RAM. Are color Ram patches installed on b&w Macs? I guess the
upshot to what I'm wondering is, does the system software catch the call to
GetCIcon and perhaps convert it to a regular GetIcon call, or is there no
implementation for catching it? Perhaps someone from Apple reads this
newsgroup... Any help from anyone would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
