Hmmm...quite a question for comp.lang.asm370 or the IBM-370 discussion list... but I will answer briefly. First, it takes a Macintosh or a set of ROMs attached to an Amiga or an Atari ST to run the Macintosh development software, unless you would like a deal on an Apple Lisa with its Lisa Pascal Workshop software (I will even throw in a C compiler...). Second, it takes a copious set of Tech Notes and the six volumes of Inside Macintosh to understand the system calls and how the beast works - give it six months on the outside; this does not mention that the sixth volume of Instide Macintosh has not been published except to Apple developers who have registered. One of the latest Tech Notes, for instance, referred to an unreleased issue of Inside Macintosh Volume VI by page number; this illustrates another in a series of unbelievable series of blandishments by Apple regarding both its developers and its customers, whom it leaves stranded quite regularly. Third, as I have alluded to above you really need to become an Apple "Partner" or "Associate". This costs from $350 to $750, depending (they offer a version including all essential initial documentation) but is predicated on your writing software designed to be distributed in a commercial environment and above all to sell more Macintoshes. For more information, and a differently biased perspective, call Apple. -- Laird J. Heal The Usenet is dead! Here: laird@chinet.chi.il.us Long live the Usenet!
