I finally purchased the enhancement kit for my Apple //e!!! But, upon reading the small pamphlet that came with the chipset, I find that there are other books that must be obtained to really know what I have just installed. So...I went to my local Apple dealer to get publication #030-1143-A, About Your Enhanced Apple //e: Programmer's Guide. He could neither find it on his shelves nor find a way to get it!! This leads me to a number of questions: 1) Is there any good sources of info on the monitor that was supplied with the enhancement kit. I'm talking about source listings, call parameters, and an overall excellent document describing what I have. Actually, come to think of it, that is my only question. :-) I'm looking for publications from Apple or any other sources of info that exist on the market, and more importantly, where is the best source for obtaining/purchasing those items. Email please, unless you think others will benefit from the discussion. Thanks in advance. Corey *********************************************** Corey S.

Addison-Wesley publishes an incredibly good series of books on Apple products. The best way to get these is to order them through a good book store rather than your dealer. What you need to get your dealer to do is get Apple's pamphlet listing all of these publications so that you have the title, etc to order by. Apple sent a copy to all of the Users Groups so that's another possible way of getting it. I don't know if you could get a copy of the pamphlet directly from Apple yourself or not. Maybe Dave could fill us in on that. ******************************************************************** * * * bob church bchurch@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu * * * * If economics isn't an "exact" science why do computers crash * * so much more often than the stock market? * * bc * ********************************************************************
