The first six Apple Human Interface Notes are now available for FTP
from Apple.com (130.43.2.2). They cover:
1 - User Observation: Guidelines for Apple Developers
2 - Design Principles for On-Line Help Systems
3 - Dueling Metaphors: the Desktop & HyperCard
4 - Movable Modal Dialog Boxes
5 - What "Cancel" Means
6 - Window Positions
and are in BinHex/StuffIt format (MacWrite files). These Notes are
updates to the _Human Interface Guidelines_ and will be released
on a similar schedule to Technical Notes (hopefully every other month).
Look in the ~ftp/pub/dts/human.interface directory and at trusty archive
sites all over the Internet in the near future. Send your comments and
suggestions to MacInterface@AppleLink.Apple.com.

My first priority is getting the January Apple II Notes posted then I will worry about the Human Interface Notes, but I wanted to get them out as soon as possible and did not want to wait for ASCII versions to release them at all. -- Mark B.

Just a note of appreciation to Mark for making ASCII ftns and tns available
via anonymous FTP. They have come in really handy!
