Chapter 1 - Introduction

The call to the TextFont function in Listing 1-1 should occur before StringWidth is called. In addition, Listing 1-1 should include all the standard initializations, even for managers not explicitly called by the code listiing. For example, Listing 1-1 should call TEInit.

Chapter 3 - Resources

The documentation refers to the SetResFile routine. The routine should be UseResFile.

Correction to List of Reserved Resource Types
Page 55

The documentation states that "Apple reserves for its own use all resource types that include any lowercase letters." This is incorrect. Apple reserves resource types consisting entirely of lowercase letters and special symbols, as well as any other system-defined resource types that already exist. In general, developer-defined resource types should contain at least one uppercase letter.

Chapter 5 - Drawing

The documentation states that the QuickDraw coordinate plane extends from -32767 to 32,767 along the x and y axes. The correct range is -32,768 to 32,767.
