Inside Macintosh is a two volume set (in two LARGE three ring binders) which describes all but 37 of the traps to the Macintosh ROM, which includes the OS, the user interface toolkit, and QuickDraw. Also available (and necessary for program development) is the "Macintosh Software Supplement to the Lisa Pascal Workshop 2.0" which includes 2 disks of Macintosh example programs and utilities (including the resource mover, alert/dialog editor, font editor, icon editor, etc.), 1 MacWorks disk to allow you to run most Macintosh software on the Lisa, 1 MacWorks disk with the LisaBug debugger, and 4 disks full of the actual Lisa software you need to develop Macintosh applications (you still need to get the Lisa Pascal Workshop 2.0; this is just a supplement) and source code of several example programs and a desk accessory. When you purchase the supplement you also get (someday?) the updates to Inside Macintosh and a final copy (probably about when the Mac is obsolete). Beats me why the IM update comes with the supplement rather than the IM itself. Oh well, you need both anyhow. Inside Macintosh and the Macintosh Software Supplement may be obtained (at least they could when I got 'em) for $150 and $100, respectively, by sending a company check (no P.O.s) to Apple's San Jose order processing facility: Apple Computer, Inc. 467 Saratoga Avenue, Suite 621 San Jose, CA 95129. They told me to expect to get it four to six weeks ARO; I got mine six weeks to the day after I got the return receipt from the post office (I was beginning to pull my hair out!) The Lisa Pascal Workshop 2.0 (Apple part no. A6D0201) should be available from your local Apple Lisa dealer. Eric L.
