I have often seen reference to a tech note #277, but I have not seen it in any archive. In fact, I haven't seen any tech notes numbered 269-288 at all anywhere. Forgive me if I got the numbers wrong, I don't have my tech note directory with me :-), but check sumex-aim if you like (and can get in :-). What's the story? Are there tech notes in this range? If so, where are they? If not, why not? thanks. rc ------------------------ Randall Cook rcook@eagle.wesleyan.edu ------------------------

I've got through 284 on paper here and in the Tech Notes Stack, at least the Feb. 1991 release. #277 is entitled "Of Time and Space and _CopyBits."

I do make a text listing of just the titles as part of my archive process, does anybody want this list posted? AppleLink seems to have through 293 or so in the various separate directories (275-299, etc) but the TN0 at the top is the December 1990 version rather than the February 1991 version that includes through 293. This was probably an inadvertant slip in updating the archive. I sent mail to MacDTS about this last week. The Apple FTP sites seem broken or constipated. The apple.com host has TN0 as of February 1990 (not 1991, now more than a year out of date) and notes up through 268. The ftp.apple.com host seems to be broken, I was told back in March that "the disk was broken and they are getting a new one". Some kind soul posts the new tech notes on one of the binaries groups, so you could always haunt the binary group and save and decode all the new notes one by one. That's what I'm currently reduced to doing.
