Excellent site!
Here's another question,
I appreciate how dead-simple the graphics routines you've demonstrated
are.
I'm used to assembly where I had to manually start all the toolsets...
a nice chunk of code!
It's nice just to be able call Graphics(320); to get hacking on
QuickDrawII !
I'd like to be able to load a PIC file from a paint program to a port
and grab from it..etc.
That should consist of using the memory manager to create a handle and
all that.... so
Is using the memory manager tool calls as easy here as the graphics
routines seem to be
or am I going to have to start all the toolsets manually... like the
code in Programmer's Introduction book?

Thanks for all the hard work!!
