Mac OS and Supervisor Mode Re: Mac OS and Supervisor Mode Re: Mac OS and Supervisor Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Feb 89 21:13:32 EDT From: ULMO031%FRORS12.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Hello all. I am looking for a picture of the cube. Does somebody have that on the net ? If yes, be kind enough to send it to me (in GIF file preferred, but any *COLOR* format that will fit for a Mac II is all right) Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Feb 89 12:54:38 CST From: Mike Partridge Subject: Terminal 0.82 launches with application Does anyone know why the "Terminal 0.82" application launches along with applications which have been constructed by the Interface Builder? It only happens when the launch occurs from the Workspace Manager, not from a Shell. I've noticed this with the calculator demos and with a simple program I wrote myself (which used the Interface Builder and my own View subclass). I'd like to prevent this from happening so my application's window can be active after launch without requiring a click to be selected. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Feb 89 23:43:57 EST From: Rob Tippenhauer Subject: A Grab bag of questions. We have had NeXT machines on campus for about 3 and a half weeks and in that time I have come up with a few (many?) questions that I can't seem to find in the documentation. 1. How do I associate ICON information with a application I have built. 2. How do I print PostScript file (a file which I have filled with PostScript commands) 3. In the Interface Builder, I have associated a "Song/Sound" with a button and want to make a second button to stop the playing of the sound. 4. Where can I purchase Objective C material? The 800 number in the suggested reading list doesn't work. Well, that should do for now! -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Feb 89 10:17:00 N From: Ernst '42' Mulder Subject: Mac OS and Supervisor Mode I believe, I may be wrong, that the Mac ALWAYS runs in supervisor mode. I don't know how this is done on the Mac II but as far as I know programs on the older Macs run in supervisor mode. I think apple didn't find it nessesarry to make only the system routines run in supervisor mode. Hmmm now I come to think of it it might have something to do with the trap handling. Sorry for being a littlebit vague, but I had a birthday party last night and had to be at work at 8am this morning....

In 1984 the reasoning went "that's too far off to worry about, and it won't be too tough to deal with when we have to..." While I deplore that type of thinking, I think that in this case the descision will prove correct. There is nothing in the Mac which fundamentally depends on the supervisor mode, and it should be the least of Apple's worries for System 7.0.
