Welcome, and thank you for purchasing Apprentice. We believe that this the most comprehensive and up-to-date Mac-only source code and utility collection available. Features of this new release include:
- Over 85% new and/or updated source code! To give you the best value possible, we're only including source code that is either entirely new, has been updated, or is of lasting importance to Mac programmers. Make sure you keep your previous Apprentices releases close at hand, since you may still need to refer to them for those snippets and examples that didn't make it onto this release. There's just not enough room to put everything we'd like on this CD-ROM. As usual, the indexes from previous releases are on this CD-ROM for easy reference.
- MKLinux for PPC! This is a really cool Un*x workalike that you can install on your NuBus PowerMac (such as the 7100, 8100, etc.).
- Frontier! Included for the first time on Apprentice is the complete public release of Frontier, the scripting environment for Mac hackers and webmasters. You'll find tons of cool Frontier examples as well.
Because many companies now provide documentation in portable document format (PDF), we have provided a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader on the CD-ROM. The installer is located in the Miscellaneous folder, located in the Utilities folder (Apprentice 5:Utilities:Miscellaneous:).
If you did not buy your copy of Apprentice directly from Celestin Company, look in the "About Celestin" folder for registration information.
For an index of the disc, double-click the file named Index of Contents. This will open up an index using the Easy View utility. For more indexing options, open the Index folder. You will find several indexes of the disc's contents. Try them to see which method fits your style.
We want your source!
Do you have some source code you think might be of help to other programmers and would-be programmers? If so, please email us. If we decide to use your source code examples, you'll get a free copy of the Apprentice release on which it appears.
