I want to read data from a file, and then create a resource from the inputed
data. Before that, I wanted to "patch" the handle at a specific byte
location before making it into a resource...
OPEN "I",1,"ccl",1,SYSTEM(_aplVol)
cclH&=FN NEWHANDLE (942)
LONG IF cclH&
READ FILE #1, [cclH&],942
POKE @cclH&+242, ASC ("A")
CALL ADDRESOURCE (cclH&,_"ccha",128,"")
CALL WRITERESOURCE (cclH&)
XELSE
BEEP
END IF
If I comment out the POKE statement, it makes a resource. When the POKE
statement is used, it doesn't work. I've also found that if I merely copy
the handle to another file (with the POKE) the change takes place. Does
anyone know how
modify a handle *and* make it a resource?
