GS/OS
#1:    Contents of System.Disk and System.Tools

Revised by:    Matt Deatherage    November 1989
Written by:    Matt Deatherage    November 1988

This Technical Note describes the contents of the disks System.Disk and
System.Tools and the minimum files necessary to boot GS/OS starting with
System Software 5.0.
Changes since July 1989:  Updated to reflect System Software version 5.0.2.
_____________________________________________________________________________

This Note gives a description of each of the files in the Apple IIGS System
Software 5.0.2 package.  This package includes three disks:  System.Disk,
System.Tools, and the Apple II Setup disk for AppleShare 2.1.1 (Macintosh
format).  System.Disk is bootable and includes two drivers with 5.0.
System.Tools is not bootable, but with 5.0.2 it includes other drivers,
AppleTalk files, and some utility programs.  The Apple II Setup disk is an
update for AppleShare File Servers (version 2.01 or later) which allows them
to boot into GS/OS.  Since the software on this disk is not available for
licensing and will not ship with applications, this Note does not cover its
contents.


Contents of System.Disk

ProDOS                          The boot file for GS/OS, ProDOS, contains
                                the code necessary to load GS/OS from any
                                particular file system.  This file will be
                                file-system dependent.  For example, the
                                file ProDOS on a bootable disk in the
                                ProDOS file system will be different than
                                the file ProDOS on a bootable disk in the
                                High Sierra file system.

                                separate from the GS.OS file to provide
                                easier support for localization.
    ExpressLoad                 New routines for GS/OS which load
                                specially processed files up to four times
                                faster than previously possible prior to
                                System Software 5.0.  GS/OS loads
                                ExpressLoad at boot time on systems with
                                more than 512K total memory.

                                QuickDraw II loads at QDStartUp time and
                                uses to draw Shaston 8 text faster than
                                could normally be accomplished.  QuickDraw
                                II does not load FastFont on systems with
                                512K total memory.
        Geneva.10               10 point Geneva font.

        Font.Lists              A file prepared by the Font Manager when
                                FMStartUp is first called.  It contains
                                information about all the fonts in the
                                Fonts directory and is only recalculated
                                if the Font Manager reasonably believes
                                the information has changed.
    FSTs                        The directory containing the file system

    GS.OS.Dev                   The GS/OS Device Manager and associated
                                core routines.  Separate from GS.OS for
                                speed reasons.
    P8                          The ProDOS 8 operating system, version 1.8.
    Start                       The boot program.  If this file exists,
                                GS/OS will always launch it upon boot.  In
                                this case, as in most cases, this is the
                                Finder.  The Finder for System Software
                                5.0 is V1.3.
    Start.GS.OS                 The file containing the GLoader and GQuit
                                routines.  It loads the files GS.OS and
                                GS.OS.Dev, which contain the rest of the
                                operating system.
    System.Setup                The directory containing all the
                                initialization files to be executed at
                                boot time.
        CDev.Init               A file, required for the Control Panel new
                                desk accessory, which executes any
                                initialization code in any CDev that is in
                                the CDev subdirectory.
        Resource.Mgr            The Resource Manager, V1.0.  This is an
                                initialization file since the design of
                                the Resource Manager requires it to be
                                present even when an application has not
                                specifically loaded it.  If this file is
                                not present, the system will not boot.
        Sys.Resources           A file containing system resources used by
                                the tools and the Control Panel, and which
                                are available to applications.
        Tool.Setup              A required file that loads TS2, which
                                contains all the patches to tools in ROM
                                for ROM level 01.  Tool.Setup would
                                attempt to load TS1 if executed on a
                                machine with ROM level 00, but GS/OS does
                                not boot on such a machine, therefore, TS1
                                is not included.
        TS2                     All the patches to ROM tools for ROM level
                                01.
        TS3                     A required file included for future
                                compatibility.

        Tool029                 ACE Tools V1.1.
        Tool034                 TextEdit V1.1.
Finder.Def                      Finder default settings file.  This file
                                must be present on the backup copy of
                                System.Disk you use with the Installer
                                program.  The Installer will not be able
                                to install GS/OS if this file is not
                                present on System.Disk.

                                Finder on systems with more than 512K
                                total memory.
AppleTalk                       A directory containing files to implement
                                the AppleTalk networking protocols.  On
                                this disk, this folder is empty.
BASIC.System                    The ProDOS 8 BASIC command interpreter,

Tutorial                        A directory containing several "empty"
                                files (files containing two carriage
                                returns) and other directories, used in
                                user-level documentation to teach the
                                concepts of a hierarchical file system.
                                These files are absolutely unnecessary to
                                the operation of the System Software.

Changes from 5.0 to 5.0.2

The changes from System Software 5.0 to 5.0.2 are described in this section.
The 5.0.2 release includes both System.Disk and System.Tools.  Only the
following files have changed; only the problems listed have been addressed.
System Software 5.0.1 was an internal Apple release that should not be used.

Note:   On System Software 5.0.2, GS/OS has version number $8301,
        meaning version 3.1p.  The Dialog Manager has version number 3.2p
        ($8302) for ROM 01.  The Desk Manager has version 3.2 ($0302) for
        ROM 01 and version 3.2p ($8302) for ROM 03.  Be sure to mask out
        prototype bits when checking version numbers.

ATResponder (System.Tools)
Fixed a bug which caused the system to forget chosen network printers unless
AppleShare was installed.

BASIC.SYSTEM
Fixed a bug in BLOAD which trashed data.  The system now properly returns the
NO BUFFERS AVAILABLE error and does not write to the disk.

GS.OS
Fixed the Init Manager to properly sense which screen is up and to always
place dialogs on the current screen.  Also fixed the Cache Manager bug listed
below.

Start.GS.OS and GS.OS.Dev
A change was made to the Cache Manager to dereference the cache bucket before
it is used in the internal Cache shutdown routines called by ResetCache.  This
prevents GS/OS fatal error $0002 from popping up during low-memory Memory
Manager calls.

Pro.FST
Fixed bugs in the GetDirEntry portion of this FST to properly report buffer
size errors and to prevent memory from being trashed when using a four-byte
name buffer.  Also fixed a bug in the Write call that caused data to be
trashed on occasion if the Write call was followed by a SetEOF call on sparse
files.

Resource.Mgr
Fixed a bug in ResourceShutDown that deallocated all system resources whenever
the call was made.  The system now only disposes of the resources belonging to
the current resource application.  A bug in AddResource and WriteResource
which corrupted resource maps when two files were open at the same time was
also fixed.

Slots CDev
Fixed a bug in setting battery RAM when the slot 2 selection was changed.
This fix allows ProDOS 8 applications better printing access to network
printers.

START (System.Tools)
Fixed a bug where the system would forget chosen printer names if the user
changed login names after booting from a file server.  Note that START is the
program GS/OS boots into when using a file server as the boot volume; this
file is not the Finder.


Tool018 (QuickDraw Auxiliary)
Fixed a bug in CopyPixels that would incorrectly allocate the scratch buffer,
causing memory to be randomly trashed.

Tool021 (Dialog Manager)
A handle allocation bug was fixed.  DialogStartUp previously allocated a
handle as movable when it should have been fixed.  This fix prevents random
memory trashing (four bytes) on the calls Alert, NoteAlert, StopAlert and
CautionAlert.

Tool023 (Standard File)
Fixed several bugs.  Case is now ignored when sorting file lists.  Filter
procedures and SFxxx2 calls now receive the proper auxiliary type for files,
and Standard File now notices an error and skips to the next volume when a
user ejects a disk and selects a file while the disk's file list is displayed.
Formerly, this situation caused an invalid reply record and sometimes crashed
applications.

Tool034 (TextEdit)
Fixed several bugs in TEGetText and in the use of LETextBox2 type data.  Also
fixed a bug which caused TextEdit controls to sometimes destroy the current
port's origin, and a bug which hung the machine when an entire TE SuperBlock
was deleted.

TS2
Fixed a bug in the QuickDraw II fast slab routines; this fix allows QuickDraw
II to properly draw objects with a width greater than 160 bytes.  A new Desk
Manager patch was added to fix a bug that left the Desk Manager in a "busy"
state after the calls AddToRunQ, RemoveFromRunQ and GetNumNDAs.

TS3

The Desk Manager patch described above was incorporated, and the Dialog
Manager bug listed above was also included here (since the Dialog Manager is
included in ROM 03).
