The question has come up again so I am reposting this.

------------------------------------------------
This is a posting about our now famous guide. :-)
What the heck is the UMPG?
The UMPG is the USENET Macintosh Programmers Guide. It is a compilation
of postings that have appeared in this news group and articles written
by the top Macintosh programmers of our time. This is the first place you
should look if you have a question about programming the Macintosh. This
is real world high quality working code. Most of the guide is articles
but there is A LOT of source code.
Where can I get the darn thing?
You can get the Word 4.0 formatted version via FTP from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
You will find by using the path below:
[Archived as /info-mac/tech/usenet-mac-prog-guide-part1.hqx; 291K
/info-mac/tech/usenet-mac-prog-guide-part2.hqx; 291K]
Its also on America On-line.
If you can't FTP you can e-mail me and I will send you a copy. Be fore
warned that your mailer must be able to handle big messages.
Its also on the Beta 7.0 CD. It should be on the next Developer CD as well.
Also the guide is very large and takes a long time to print. Its
about 290 pages long and uses up a ream of paper when printed. Then
you have to bind it in some way. To save you from all that trouble
I made up some books in printed form already. The printed version is
double sided and spiral/comb (each copy place calls it different) bound.
You can get the printed version by sending $17.00 to:
USENET Macintosh Programmers Guide

If you wanted to get the Guide on disk you can send $5.00 to:

Version II of the guide is scheduled to start production some
time in Febuary. So start working on your articles Now! :-)
