Featured on this month\'s disc is the Macintosh Programmer\'s Toolbox Assistant. Toolbox Assistant gives you rapid access to up-to-date information about the Macintosh API. It provides a complete reference to the managers documented in Inside Macintosh, including their data structures, routines, constants, and resources. QuickView gives you extensive hypertext links for rapid, easy navigation and provides useful features such as copy text, fast full-text search, user annotations, and re-sizable windows. See the file \"Read Me First!\" for installation and other information.Another featured area we would like to call your attention to is the Macintosh Developer Notes. These contain over 700 pages of system software information not presently covered in Inside Macintosh. Software developers seldom look for this type of information in the Macintosh Developer Notes because they assume that the notes are hardware specific. This is not a good assumption; developer notes do include detailed information on new system software APIs. To help you access this information more readily, we have compiled a DocViewer collection with aliases to specific chapters in the developer notes that are cataloged as software documents, and also included these chapters in the appropriate DocViewer collections in the \" Master Subject Collections\" folder.Macintosh Technical Notes in Apple DocViewer return to their one-document-per-subject form this quarter for ease of access. Due to some problems with the DocViewer build process, there are some new and revised notes that have been built as separate documents; these are included before the merged-by-subject documents in the Subject Collections, so when a search produces hits on the same technote twice, the first set of hits should be used. This should be the last DevCD upon which the technotes are in DocViewer format; next quarter we hope to introduce a new and much improved format for technical documentation. Stay tuned...Unfortunately not featured this month is the QuickDraw 3D File Format, as advertised on the back of the disc package. We hope to bring this to you on next month\'s CD.Finally, thanks to the large volume of new material on this disc, we have had to temporarily remove several items, including the QuickDraw GX volumes of Inside Macintosh. These volumes can be found on the December \'94 Reference Library and New Inside Macintosh CDs, and will reappear on the June \'95 Developer CD. Developers whose subscriptions begin in March through May \'95 who do not have access to the NIM CD, and who need the QuickDraw GX books in electronic form.So, in addition to new GM versions of Arabic and Kanji System 7.5, here are the rest of this month\'s new and revised packages.
ASLM SDK v2.0b5: The Apple Shared Library Manager release 2.0 allows you create and use dynamically linkable and loadable shared libraries. The ASLM 2.0 supports system 6.0.5 and higher including running under single Finder. It also support native PowerPC shared libraries and clients.
ASLM 2.0 contains two parts. The first is simply a continuation of ASLM 1.1.2 for 68K. It contains bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements. It is binary comptible with ASLM 1.1 clients and shared libraries. Please see the \"Change History\" document for a list of changes and bug fixes.
Dylan Update 03/95: This folder contains updates to the \"Dylan Related\" folder on the February 95 Tool Chest CD, including new versions of MacMarlais (0.5d23) and Mindy (1.2), and an errata list for the Dylan Interim Reference Manual.
OpenDoc Documentation: This folder contains the principal developer documentation for OpenDoc on the Macintosh platform. In addition to this ReadMe file and a Recipes folder, the titles include:OpenDoc Class Reference
OpenDoc Programmer\'s Guide
OpenDoc Cookbook
OpenDoc Human Interface GuidelinesAll books are in Apple DocViewer format. All are preliminary; the information in them is in some cases incomplete and is not guaranteed to be current with the version of OpenDoc that ships with this seed. Note particularly the errata sheet that accompanies the Class Reference.Besides the OpenDoc Human Interface Guidelines, the Human Interface folder contains drag and drop guidelines and a checklist that you can use to ensure that your part editors conform to the OpenDoc human interface guidelines.The Recipes folder contains discussions and code provided by the OpenDoc development team to help you get started programming. Much of the information in the recipes has been incorporated into the Programmer\'s Guide or the Cookbook, although the recipes may be more up-to-date and may contain code examples not shown elsewhere.NOTE: We have lots of vintage software, hardware books etc. for Apple II, Macintosh (including more developer CDs) and other computers in our store. If you buy more than 1 different item please WAIT FOR A COMBINED SHIPPING INVOICE. Do NOT pay separately even if they are all free shipping add them to your shopping cart. We will still do combined shipping on multiple international orders so let us know when you are done buying. We will then send a combined shipping invoice. The USPS International shipping rates have gone up a lot so ask for combined shipping. This will help some.
