Greetings!
I need to post an applet with some extra data (text data).
This applet will run over MacOS Classic and X systems.
Do you advice to put these data in resource inside the same applet {1}, or
to link this applet to an attached file {2} ?
{1} works (our installers, updaters and upgraders are such applets)
{2} works also, does not require an osax, but is less compact since
you've got two files
Apple advises not to use resources to store large pieces of data, so
you've got to discard {1} in case you've got big texts to pass.
A solution which would require neither an osax nor an attached file
would be to store the data in some property of the applet. No stored
data size limit implied with properties.
