[comp.sys.mac] Inside Mac: forthcoming...?

kkim@uiucdcsb.UUCP (05/07/87)

    I have two questions about the Inside Macintosh 
(promotional edition).

1)  At the end of the Desk Manager chapter, it is said that

    A Sample Desk Accessory
    *** to be supplied; ....

2) Also at the end of the OS Event Manager chapter, it is said

    DEFINING A NONSTANDARD KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION
    *** This information is forthcoming ***

Does anybody know what happened thereafter?

I would like to clarify my base note.  Probably my title is misleading.

What I asked was:

    the sample codes about 1) a desk accessory, and 2) defining a
    nonstandard keyboard configuration PROMISED IN THE PROMOTIONAL EDITION
    (the context seems to imply that the codes will be included in the
    final versions) DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE FINAL VERSIONS PUBLISHED BY
    ADDISON-WESLEY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF the promised codes have
    been published anywhere (like in technical notes or software
    supplements or whatever).
    
    I hope it will clarify my question.  Thanks.

Apple has changed the way that the keyboard is handled on the SE
and II (i.e., under the Apple DeskTop Bus).  That same mechanism
is retrofitted onto the Plus under System 4.1, and is minimally
documented in the draft IM Volume V, available from APDA.
