Under Construction
The Apple New & Revised Technotes site has just been implemented - there may be some bugs still creeping in the woodwork. Please
report any problems to TM@ applelink.apple.com. Thank you!
CONTENTS
Welcome to Apple's Web site for New & Revised Technotes
With the creation of this Web site, Apple introduces a new and revised set
of Macintosh Technotes, which contain Notes on special topics that are important to a broad range of Apple developers worldwide.
These Notes provide you with programming tips and techniques, code samples, fixes and updates to Inside Macintosh and other sources
of Apple documentation. The Notes have been reviewed by Apple engineers for technical accuracy and robustness.
Macintosh Technical Notes still live on the Web and on the Developer CDs in their original form as a collection
of errata and
addenda to the volumes of Inside Macintosh.
These new Notes are intended, however, to supercede the originals and provide fresh
perspectives, as well as valuable programming and design techniques for the Apple developer community. Each Note is mapped to a particular
volume of Inside Macintosh for better cross-referencing, and includes About, Using, and Summary sections.

Contributing a Technote
Apple welcomes contributions from all members of the Apple developer
community. If you have solved a particularly gnarly engineering or design problem, or you want to share insights you've gained in addressing an
important development or operating system issue with other Apple developers, a Technote may be just the right vehicle for you.
If you're interested in writing or contributing a Technote, you might want to check out the Author's Guidelines, which provide a
preliminary outline of the new structure Apple has evolved for Macintosh Technotes.
