Description

The purpose of these functions are to save and restore a group of emulated 68K registers around calls to a PowerPC active or send function, which in turn calls YieldToAnyThread. This work-around is necessary because, at the current time, the PPC Thread Manager doesn't do anything with the emulated 68K registers, and without this work-around, the OSA AppleScript component get totally confused and blows-up. Requires: PowerPC, AppleScript, Thread Manager Keywords: AppleScript, Thread Manager, threads
