[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Help: want a book and a function

chuck@umiami.miami.edu (08/01/90)

I have two questions.

First:  I am looking for some kind of general information book that will let 
me in on all the technical terminology that I'm running into these days about 
computer hardware, architechture, whatever.  Something that defines terms like 
cache, interrupts, masks, etc.  I'm not a beginning programmer, but instead 
I'm finding that my programming ability is being hampered somewhat because 
when I read documentation, I'm running into words like this and since I don't 
know what they *really* are, I get confused.  I guess you could call it some 
kind of technical manual for the Macintosh.  Any suggestions?

Second:  I'm using THINK C, 4.0.2.  Are there any toolbox routines that are 
comparable to strcmp() in the ANSI library?  

Thanks.  Please e-mail replies, unless there's interest.
