Re: Trojan Horse
There is a trojan horse INIT called Steroid that claims to speed up QuickDraw by about
40% when in reality it will zero out all of the disks that are online. It checks to see if
the date is 06/06/90 or later and wipes out your disk drives if it is.

Re: Rotating Regions
I trying to find an easy way (if it exists) to rotate previously defined regions. I’ve
just started reading MacTutor regularly so I don’t know if this topic was covered in a
previous issue (if not, maybe I’ll write something about it after I figure out the
answer). I’m using THINK Pascal 2.0 and am trying to rotate irregular shapes
(triangles, trapezoids, etc.) 45 degrees counter clockwise and clockwise. I appreciate
any help or shove in the right direction(s).

Re: PICT Question
There is a problem with saving PICT images that exceed 32K in size. Before the color
Macintosh II, it was very rare for a PICT file to exceed 32K. If you read pages 87-90
in Inside Macintosh volume V, it provides some example Pascal source code that shows
you how to spool PICT data to and from disk. This code uses “hooks” to the Macintosh
Toolbox routines, so don’t forget that any routine called by a Macintosh Toolbox routine
MUST be declared as “pascal”.
