Re: CDA access by NDA?

[jmk3@crux4.cit.cornell.edu (Jay Krell)]

GS+ published a program that I think would actually enter any CDA, not
just the CDA menu. Whichever they did, the article said it was tricky
and not "endorsed" (my word) by "Apple." (In this context, it seems to
me that "Apple" is often a synonym for Matt, or less likely Dave or
Jim or someone else. I don't mean this negatively or anything.)

Anyway, if you just want to enter the CDA menu, my first guess would be
to post an event, either command-control-esc, or I recall there being
a "da event" but that might just be a flag bit.

If PostEvent doesn't work, I would next explore calling the bank E1
vector, calling ChooseCDA, or seeing what those two do and copying
them, but this stuff isn't good to be doing. It is interesting to
disassemble and see what is done, but it is _much_, _much_ better to
take the high level approach and PostEvent.

(I tend to detail bad solutions that I wouldn't dare distribute.)
