You want the _Apple IIgs Toolbox Reference Update_ from APDA (1-800-282-APDA), #K2B005. Eventually I believe the update will be out in hardback from Addison-Wesley, but probably not very soon. There is no System Disk 3.4, but I think 3.2 had P16 1.6. There is also a System Disk 4.0 containing GS/OS and additional toolbox improvements. You can get System Disk 4.0 with release notes from APDA, and you can also get volumes I and II of the GS/OS Reference (beta), which you should do if you want to write applications that take advantage of special features of GS/OS like disk caching for often-used files. (Directories will be cached automatically.) APDA is always the answer...why doesn't everybody just JOIN? :) --David A. Lyons bitnet: awcttypa@uiamvs DAL Systems CompuServe: 72177,3233 P.O.
