So it is a Carbon-specific API. Any way, it would be *QUITE* *BAD* to
exploit it instead of the file Services, which are *THE* system-wide
API for
providing file-based services in OSX. Just like other Services are *THE*
system-wide API for prividing text-, graphics-, sound-, table-, and
actually
anything-based services.
Just again, *if* you want to have a contextual menu of external
file-based
services, the only reasonable way is to "copy" appropriate Services
from the
Services menu there.
Umm, sorry to break this to you, but just because you like it and NeXT
did it that way, doesn't mean it's *THE* way to do it. There are plenty
of Mac users of *Mac* OS X that prefer contextual menus.
Best,
