Appendix D - Renamed and Relocated Text Routines
This appendix lists, in Table D-1, those Macintosh system software routines that
have been renamed or relocated from one manager to another during the reorganization necessary for the creation of Inside Macintosh: Text. It also lists those calls that have been rendered obsolete by newer versions of themselves and are therefore removed
from documentation.
Most of the changes have been to text-related routines: the International Utilities Package and the Binary-Decimal Conversion Package have been replaced by a new manager called Text Utilities. The Text Utilities include most of their routines and also several text-related routines that were formerly part of the Toolbox Utilities and Operating System Utilities.
Many text-related routines that were formerly part of the Script Manager have been moved to other managers, such as QuickDraw, the Font Manager, the Text Utilities, or the Menu Manager, to be documented alongside existing routines with similar capabilities. For example, all routines that measure and draw justified text have been moved from the Script Manager to QuickDraw, to be with the existing QuickDraw text-measuring and drawing routines.
Many other routines have not been moved, but their names have been changed to
more clearly reflect their functions, to minimize ambiguous interpretations, and to expand abbreviations.
Some routines that are not related to text handling are listed here. They are former Script Manager or International Utilities routines dealing with international issues, such as IUMetric and WriteLocation. Those routines now belong to other managers, as noted in Table D-1.
- Note
- Although obsolete routines are no longer documented, they may remain in system software and their declarations may be maintained in the interface files for backward compatibility. Renamed routines are no longer documented under their old names, other than within the table in this appendix.
