INTRODUCTION
     The described routines are used to implement  the  Macintosh
     specific  resource  command  and the Mac specific notifier..
     They manipulate  or  use  Macintosh  resources  and  provide
     administration for open resource file references.


DESCRIPTION
     Tcl_MacEvalResource extends the source command to  Macintosh
     resources.   It  sources  Tcl  code  from  a  Text resource.
     Currently only sources the resource by name, file IDs may be
     supported at a later date.

Tcl Library Procedures                  Tcl_MacSetEventProc(3TCL)



     Tcl_MacConvertTextResource converts a TEXT resource  into  a
     Tcl  suitable  string.  It mallocs the returned memory, con-
     verts ``\r'' to ``\n'', and appends a null. The  caller  has
     the responsibility for freeing the memory.

     Tcl_MacFindResource provides a higher  level  interface  for
     loading resources. It is used by resource read.

     Tcl_NewOSTypeObj is used to create a new resource name  type
     object. The object type is "ostype".

     Tcl_SetOSTypeObj modifies an object to be  a  resource  type
     and to have the specified long value.

     Tcl_GetOSTypeFromObj attempts to return an int from the  Tcl
     object  "objPtr".  If  the  object is not already an int, an
     attempt will be made to convert it to one.

     Tcl_MacSetEventProc sets the event  handling  procedure  for
     the  application.  This function will be passed all incoming
     Mac events.  This function usually controls the  console  or
     some other entity like Tk.


RESOURCE TYPES
     Resource types are  4-byte  values  used  by  the  macintosh
     resource  facility  to  tag  parts of the resource fork in a
     file so that the OS knows how to handle them. As all 4 bytes
     are  restricted  to  printable characters such a type can be
     interpreted as a 4 character string too.


KEYWORDS
     macintosh, mac, resource, notifier
