[net.micro.mac] Software Supplements?

chuqui@nsc.UUCP (Chuqui) (01/26/85)

I've seen various comments (mostly in fa.info-mac) about software
supplements-- documentation and disk. What are the procedures for getting
these? Are they supposed to be available to all users, or just developers?
How do you get on the list?

Chuq,

The Software Supplement is available to ANYONE, just send $100 to the place
where you got your Inside Macintosh, and you'll start getting them.

BTW, one of the ''advantages'' to also buying the supplement to inside mac, is
that you'll get a ''real'' copy of IM in about 7 months when its published.

The disks aren't as important as the manual updates you get.  For example
the December supplement came with a revision to the Resource Manager guide
that explains the ins and outs of ''owned resources'' which are pretty
important of you are writing drivers (Desk Ornaments).
