several language kits)
gestaltLanguageMgrAttr
Returns information about the Language Manager?
enum {
#define gestaltLanguageMgrAttr 'lang'

gestaltLanguageMgr??? = 3,
gestaltLanguageMgr??? = 4,
gestaltLanguageMgr??? = 5}; /* unknown, Mac OS 9.0 */

several language kits)
Value found: 0x00001FFF.

gestaltLinkToolVersion?
Returns the version of the Link Tool Manager as NumVersion?
#define gestaltLinkToolVersion? 'ltma'
NOTE:
The only value I've seen returned was 0x02002008, which would mean
'2.0d8' which was not correct since the 'vers' recource said '2.0f0'.
The value is hardcoded in the .LTM Driver resource. (Rene Ros)

NOTE:
The Desktop Printer Extension included with LaserWriter 8.3 (version
'1.0f1c2 (nodebug)') contains a resource of type 'GFUN' which looks
very much like a selector function. The code in it checks for 'pxtn'
and tries to return a version number. But the code 'pxtn' is never
installed as a selector!? (Rene Ros)
