I asked a question about the "Timer" program a few weeks ago. One of the many responses was from Peter Hickman who graciously agreed to send me his own version of all the source code from the book "Macintosh Programming Primer, Vol.1" by Mark and Reed. Since he is in the UK, I will redistribute it to anyone on this side of the pond. BTW, the solution to the problem was to replace the calls to GetMHandle with GetMenu. The GetMHandle calls returned null pointers, except for the Apple menu call which worked fine. Mike Paisley paisley@mte.ncsu.edu PAISLEY@NCSUMTE.BITNET

Giving their code away is no different than giving away any other licensed product. The authors have sometimes changed the code to fix problems and have replaced bad disks for me in the past. The code has been a big help to me and is definitely worth the cost ($20 or so). The authors address is found in the back of their books, so send them a check if you want the code. These guys did novice mac programmers a great service by writing their books, and offering their code on disk, and surely don't deserve to be robbed by you. David Hoerl AT&T
