Video: C Programming on System 6 - Easier LDEFs With This One Weird Trick

I recently read about using a jump instruction as an LDEF resource to allow keeping the list definition function in the main program executable/project, so in this video I implement the technique for the message list.

Video notes:

• MacTech - 6-byte Code Resource Stub Trick
  • 2F3A 0004 4E75 0000 0000
• The 4-char-as-long instead of a character array mentioned around 5:30 is apparently called a FourCC

As mentioned in the video, I’ve created an IRC channel on Freenode called #cyberpals if you are interested in following along with this series and have questions or would like to help others. I’m in the channel as jcs.
