I'm interested in online documentation for Macintosh programming. Right
now all I have is the system errors DA, which is actually a bit of a help.
But I'm hoping for things like online listings of the Toolbox calls and
their arguments, or (this is something I'd really like) a listing of the
low-memory global names and addresses.
If you know of any utilities like this, please drop me a line. I'll
summarize to the net after a week or so...

Kent's heuristic: Look for it first where you'd most like to find it.wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu (William M. Bumgarner) (03/20/89)
Try Steve Capps "Programmer's Online Companion". It contains all of IM I-V in an easily accessible and expandable library. It is online all the time, and pops up at the press of a button. It is also fast. One Problem: Mr. Capps decided to ignore a lot of design guidelines when writing this software. It works well, and I have had no conflicts with any software as of yet... BUT the installer is horribly designed... it installs an INIT directly into the System file. Why it isn't a seperate INIT file is beyond me. (He also chose to ignore ShowInit and displays a mini-icon in the lower left corner-- very annoying considering this was written after Mercer's code)... An excellent, and worthy product marred by a horrible installation application and a couple of very stupid 'features'. b.bum wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu

Right >now all I have is the system errors DA, which is actually a bit of a help. There are two things that I use. One is an init "the Programmmers on line companion" by Steve Capps. Version 2.0 The other is "Inside Mac DA" by Bernard Gallet. This crazy guy wrote a DA and typed in volumes 1 to 3 of inside macintosh by himself! There are a few typo's but it is still very useful. I don't know if the Inside mac is still available because I heard that bernard didn't get an OK from apple for distributing Copyrighted material. I maybe wrong. -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora SRI International stores@SRI.COM ___________________________________________________________
