For the Developer Release of Rhapsody, the on-line book OPENSTEP Tools and Techniques provides task-oriented help for the development environment. This "book" consists of a collection of PDF files in the directory:
/System/Documentation/Developer/YellowBox/TasksAndConcepts/DevEnvGuide
For Yellow Box on Windows systems, you must preprend the value of NEXT_ROOT to the above path.
Important!
The procedures given in these files are based on NeXT Software's OPENSTEP Enterprise 4.2 product; they have not yet been updated for Rhapsody. However, most of the information in them is still valid and useful.
The PDF files are grouped in two subdirectories: Book and Chapters. The file in the Book directory is the entire book, and is thus useful if you want to print the book. (Be warned, however, this file is quite big.) In the Chapters directory are (obviously) the individual chapter files.
