Once upon a time I was a certified developer; however, when I was inactive for too long (it's been a long time since my last distributed version of UW) and subsequently moved from California to Illinois I was apparently dropped. My biggest loss was the technical information I was getting. I have a tech notes subscription, of course, but that only goes so far. For instance, I see various references to volume six of *Inside Macintosh*, but it doesn't look like it is officially available. The most recent APDA catalog doesn't include it. Is there any way that I can get it? -- John Bruner Center for Supercomputing R&D, University of Illinois bruner@csrd.uiuc.edu (217) 244-4476

No, I don't know a way, but I have spotted a slightly cheap way to get some previously developer-only info: Subscribe to "Develop" and buy a CD-ROM reader. In each issue comes bound a CD-ROM containing all the articles and for this and previous issues of the magazine. (It is in its 3rd monthly-ish issue now.) In addition to Develop itself, the included CD called "Developer Essentials" also is supposed to contain: - All the different international versions of System Software - International HyperCards - Tech Notes - Tech Notes Stack - Q & A Stack - SpInside Macintosh (I-V only--no VI yet) - DTS sample code I don't actually know because the new developer CD, "Discy Business", is supposed to include all that and more, so they don't ship the "Developer Essentials" CD to developers. Besides, our CD reader hasn't arrived yet. P.S. I am using uw at this very moment. Thanks.

Granted, there's no reason not to put all of it on the DEVELOP CDs; I'm sure they have the space, and there's nothing secret in the above information. But I thought that the DEVELOP CDs were limited to the online version of the magazine and the sample code from the magazine. >Kent Borg internet: kent@camex.com MacNet: kentborg > H:(617) 776-6899 W:(617) 426-3577 >"If 2 + 3 is always going to be 5, why do they keep teaching it to us?" > - 5-30-90 New York Times quoting a first grader -- David Walton Internet: dwal@midway.uchicago.edu University of Chicago { Any opinions found herein are mine, not } Computing Organizations { those of my employers (or anybody else). }
