{    On Mac OS X 64 bit, the following types have been removed because their meaning is unclear or confusing.
    For example, people have assumed that the appropriate data type for typeLongInteger would be long; but
    on 64 bit 'long' is a 64 bit value and the appropriate type should be typeComp.

    You should change your existing code to not use the following types, and use the more specific ones.  Check
    through your code to make sure that the datasize referenced by these types is the correct type.

        type constant       change to                   data type should be
        -------------       ---------                   -------------------
        typeSMInt           typeSInt16                  SInt16
        typeShortInteger    typeSInt16                  SInt16
        typeInteger         typeSInt32                  SInt32
        typeLongInteger     typeSInt32                  SInt32
        typeComp            typeSInt64                  SInt64 or Wide
        typeSMFloat         typeIEEE32BitFloatingPoint  Float32
        typeShortFloat      typeIEEE32BitFloatingPoint  Float32
        typeLongFloat       typeIEEE64BitFloatingPoint  Float64

    There is no good type on 64 bit to use for typeEntended; either change your code to pass typeIEEE64BitFloatingPoint
    for typeExtended and live with the reduction in range or use type128BitFloatingPoint.

 *  AEInstallCoercionHandler()

 *  Summary:

 *  
 *  Discussion:
 *    Before using AEInstallCoercionHandler to install a handler for a
 *    particular descriptor type, you can use the AEGetCoercionHandler
 *    function to determine whether the table already contains a
 *    coercion handler for that type. 
 *    Version Notes
 *    See the Version Notes section for the AECoercePtr function for
 *    information on when to use descriptor-based versus pointer-based
 *    coercion handlers starting in Mac OS X version 10.2.
 *    Your application should not install a coercion handler in a
 *    system coercion handler dispatch table with the goal that the
 *    handler will get called when other applications perform coercions
 *    - this won't work in Mac OS X. For more information, see "Writing
 *    and Installing Coercion Handlers" in Apple Events Programming
 *    Guide.
 *  
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Thread safe since version 10.2
 *  
 *  Parameters:
 *    
 *    fromType:
 *      The descriptor type of the data coerced by the handler.
 *    
 *    toType:
 *      The descriptor type of the resulting data.
 *      If there was already an entry in the specified coercion handler
 *      table for the same source descriptor type and result descriptor
 *      type, the existing entry is replaced.
 *    
 *    handler:
 *      A universal procedure pointer to the coercion handler function
 *      to install.
 *    
 *    handlerRefcon:
 *      A reference constant. The Apple Event Manager passes this value
 *      to the handler each time it calls it. If your handler doesn't
 *      require a reference constant, pass 0 for this parameter.
 *    
 *    fromTypeIsDesc:
 *      Specifies the form of the data to coerce. Pass TRUE if the
 *      coercion handler expects the data as a descriptor or FALSE if
 *      the coercion handler expects a pointer to the data. The Apple
 *      Event Manager can provide a pointer to data more efficiently
 *      than it can provide a descriptor, so all coercion functions
 *      should accept a pointer to data if possible.
 *    
 *    isSysHandler:
 *      Specifies the coercion table to add the handler to. Pass TRUE
 *      to add the handler to the system coercion table or FALSE to add

 *    copy by calling the AESend function and, after AESend returns a

 *  AECreateDescFromExternalPtr()
 *  
 *  Summary:
 *    Creates a new descriptor that uses a memory buffer supplied by
 *    the caller.
 *  
 *  Discussion:
 *    This function is different than AECreateDesc, in that it creates
 *    a descriptor that uses the data block provided by the caller "in
 *    place," rather than allocate a block of memory and copy the data
 *    to it. This function can provide dramatically improved
 *    performance if you're working with large chunks of data. It
 *    attempts to copy the descriptor to the address space of any
 *    recipient process using virtual memory APIs, avoiding an actual
 *    memory copy. For example, you might want to use this function to
 *    pass a large image in an Apple event.
 *    You can use the AEGetDescDataRange function to access a specific
 *    section of a large block of data.
 *  
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Thread safe since version 10.2
 *  
 *  Parameters:
 *    
 *    descriptorType:
 *      The descriptor type for the new descriptor.
 *    
 *    dataPtr:
 *      A pointer to the data for the new descriptor. The memory that
 *      is pointed to cannot be a Handle (which may move in memory),
 *      cannot be modified by the caller, and must be preserved in
 *      place (and not freed), until the disposeCallback function is
 *      called.
 *      If possible, the descriptor will be mapped into the address
 *      space of the recipient using shared memory, avoiding an actual
 *      memory copy.
 *      The pointer that is passed in does not need to be aligned to
 *      any particular boundary, but is optimized to transfer data on a
 *      page boundary. You can get the current page size (4096 on all
 *      current Mac OS X systems) with the getpagesize(3) call. (Type
 *      man 3 getpagesize in a Terminal window for documentation.)
 *    
 *    dataLength:
 *      The length, in bytes, of the data for the new descriptor.
 *    
 *    disposeCallback:
 *      A universal procedure pointer to a dispose callback function of
 *      type AEDisposeExternalProcPtr. Your callback function will be
 *      called when the block of memory provided by dataPtr is no
 *      longer needed by the Apple Event Manager. The function can be
 *      called at any time, including during creation of the descriptor.
 *    
 *    disposeRefcon:
 *      A reference constant the Apple Event Manager passes to the
 *      disposeCallback function whenever it calls the function. If
 *      your dispose function doesn't require a reference constant,
 *      pass 0 for this parameter.
 *    
 *    theDesc:
 *      A pointer to a descriptor. On successful return, a descriptor
 *      that incorporates the data specified by the dataPtr parameter.
 *      On error, a null descriptor. If the function returns
 *      successfully, your application should call the AEDisposeDesc
 *      function to dispose of the resulting descriptor after it has
 *      finished using it.

 *  
 *  Summary:
 *    Creates an Apple event with several important attributes but no

 *  
 *  Discussion:
 *    The AECreateAppleEvent function creates an empty Apple event. You
 *    can add parameters to the Apple event after you create it with
 *    the functions described in "Adding Parameters and Attributes to
 *    an Apple Event".
 *  
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Thread safe since version 10.2
 *  
 *  Parameters:
 *    
 *    theAEEventClass:
 *      The event class of the Apple event to create. This parameter
 *      becomes accessible through the keyEventClassAttr attribute of
 *      the Apple event. Some event classes are described in "Event
 *      Class Constants".
 *    
 *    theAEEventID:
 *      The event ID of the Apple event to create. This parameter
 *      becomes accessible through the keyEventIDAttr attribute of the
 *      Apple event.
 *    
 *    target:
 *      A pointer to an address descriptor. Before calling
 *      AECreateAppleEvent, you set the descriptor to identify the
 *      target (or server) application for the Apple event. This
 *      parameter becomes accessible through the keyAddressAttr
 *      attribute of the Apple event.
 *    
 *    returnID:
 *      The return ID for the created Apple event. If you pass a value
 *      of kAutoGenerateReturnID, the Apple Event Manager assigns the
 *      created Apple event a return ID that is unique to the current
 *      session. If you pass any other value, the Apple Event Manager
 *      assigns that value for the ID. This parameter becomes
 *      accessible through the keyReturnIDAttr attribute of the Apple
 *      event. The return ID constant is described in "ID Constants for
 *      the AECreateAppleEvent Function".
 *    
 *    transactionID:
 *      The transaction ID for this Apple event. A transaction is a
 *      sequence of Apple events that are sent back and forth between
 *      the client and server applications, beginning with the client's
 *      initial request for a service. All Apple events that are part
 *      of a transaction must have the same transaction ID. You can
 *      specify the kAnyTransactionID constant if the Apple event is
 *      not one of a series of interdependent Apple events. This
 *      parameter becomes accessible through the keyTransactionIDAttr
 *      attribute of the Apple event.
 *    
 *    result:
 *      A pointer to an Apple event. On successful return, the new
 *      Apple event. On error, a null descriptor (one with descriptor
 *      type typeNull). If the function returns successfully, your
 *      application should call the AEDisposeDesc function to dispose

{
 *  AEGetParamPtr()
 *  
 *  Summary:
 *    Gets a copy of the data for a specified Apple event parameter
 *    from an Apple event or an Apple event record (type AERecord);
 *    typically used when your application needs to work with the
 *    extracted data directly.
 *  
 *  Discussion:
 *    You should use this function only to extract data from value
 *    descriptors such as typeUTF8Text.
 *    Because this function allows you to specify a desired type, it
 *    can result in coercion. When used correctly, this has the
 *    positive effect of returning the data in the desired format.
 *    However, it can have side effects you may not be expecting, such
 *    as the overhead of calls to coercion handlers. See also the
 *    Version Notes section below for possible problems with
 *    coercion.
 *    To get Apple event parameter data for your application to use
 *    directly, call AEGetParamPtr. To get a descriptor for an Apple
 *    event parameter to pass on to another Apple Event Manager
 *    routine, call AEGetParamDesc.
 *    Before calling AEGetParamPtr, you can call the AESizeOfParam
 *    function to determine a size for the dataPtr buffer. However,
 *    unless you specify typeWildCard for the desiredType parameter,
 *    AEGetParamPtr may coerce the data, which may cause the size of
 *    the data to change.
 *    In some cases, you may get improved efficiency extracting
 *    information from an Apple event with the AEGetDescDataRange
 *    function.
 *  
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Thread safe since version 10.2
 *  
 *  Parameters:
 *    
 *    theAppleEvent:
 *      A pointer to the Apple event to get the parameter data from.
 *      See AppleEvent.
 *    
 *    theAEKeyword:
 *      The keyword that specifies the desired Apple event parameter.
 *    
 *    desiredType:
 *      The desired descriptor type for the copied data. If the
 *      descriptor specified by the theAEKeyword parameter is not of
 *      the desired type, AEGetParamPtr attempts to coerce the data to
 *      this type. However, if the desired type is typeWildCard, no
 *      coercion is performed. On return, you can determine the actual
 *      descriptor type by examining the typeCode parameter.
 *    
 *    actualType:
 *      A pointer to a descriptor type. On return, specifies the
 *      descriptor type of the data pointed to by dataPtr. The returned
 *      type is either the same as the type specified by the

 *    
 *    dataPtr:
 *      A pointer to a buffer, local variable, or other storage
 *      location created and disposed of by your application. The size
 *      in bytes must be at least as large as the value you pass in the
 *      maximumSize parameter. On return, contains the parameter data.
 *      Specify NULL if you do not care about this return value.
 *    
 *    maximumSize:
 *      The maximum length, in bytes, of the expected Apple event

 *      data than you specify in this parameter.
 *    
 *    actualSize:
 *      A pointer to a variable of type Size. On return, the length, in
 *      bytes, of the data for the specified Apple event parameter. If
 *      this value is larger than the value you passed in the
 *      maximumSize parameter, the buffer pointed to by dataPtr was not
 *      large enough to contain all of the data for the parameter,

 *    the data for an address attribute, thereby allowing applications
 *    to use their own address types.

 AppleEvent Serialization Support

    AESizeOfFlattenedDesc, AEFlattenDesc, AEUnflattenDesc
    
    These calls will work for all AppleEvent data types and between different
    versions of the OS (including between Mac OS 9 and X)
    
    Basic types, AEDesc, AEList and AERecord are OK, but AppleEvent records
    themselves may not be reliably flattened for storage.
*************************************************************************}
{
 *  AESizeOfFlattenedDesc()
 *  
 *  Discussion:
 *    Returns the amount of buffer space needed to flatten the AEDesc.
 *    Call this before AEFlattenDesc to make sure your buffer has
 *    enough room for the operation.
 *  
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Thread safe since version 10.2
 *  
 *  Parameters:
 *    
 *    theAEDesc:

{
 *  AEFlattenDesc()
 *  
 *  Discussion:
 *    Fills a buffer with a flattened representation of the AEDesc and
 *    returns the amount of buffer used in actualSize. If bufferSize
 *    was too small it returns errAEBufferTooSmall (-1741) and does not
 *    fill in any of the buffer. The resulting buffer is only useful
 *    with an AEUnflattenDesc call. 
 *    Note: if you pass a NULL buffer pointer it returns noErr but
 *    fills in the actualSize field anyway.
 *  
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Thread safe since version 10.2
 *  
 *  Parameters:
 *    
 *    theAEDesc:
 *      A pointer to the descriptor to be flattened.
 *    
 *    buffer:
 *      A pointer to memory, allocated by the application, where the
 *      flattened data will be stored. See the bufferSize parameter for
 *      information on how large a buffer you should allocate.
 *    
 *    bufferSize:
 *      The size of the buffer pointed to by buffer. Prior to calling
 *      AEFlattenDesc, you call the AESizeOfFlattenedDesc function to
 *      determine the required size of the buffer for the flatten
 *      operation.
 *      If bufferSize is too small, AEFlattenDesc returns
 *      errAEBufferTooSmall and doesn't store any data in the buffer.
 *    
 *    actualSize:
 *      A pointer to a size variable. On return, the variable contains
 *      the actual size of the flattened data. You can specify NULL for

 *  Discussion:

 *      contains flattened data produced by a previous call to
 *      AEFlattenDesc.
 *    
 *    result:
 *      A null descriptor. On successful completion, points to a
