[comp.sys.apple] Beta doc on System 5.0

lvirden@pro-tcc.UUCP (Larry Virden) (10/14/89)

I was wondering.  Is the technical doc available from APDA right now for
Systme 5.0 or 5.0.2?  If its for 5.0, and I wait for 5.0.2, does that mean
that I will not be getting all the info for 5.0 (since I am sure the changes
from 5.0 to 5.0.2 are smaller than from 4.0 to 5.0)?

Increments of 0.0.x are for fixing bugs, not for adding new features--the
beta draft of Toolbox Reference Volume 3 still applies.

The differences between 5.0 and 5.0.2 are outlined in the October 1989 version
of GS/OS Technical Note #1, which was recently sent to Apple II Partners.  I
believe it will be in the November notes.
