Hello to you all.

But a special hello to the Apple employees. I do hope you're allowed to
stay! Best of luck!

Sometimes I don't have anything special to report in the header of an update
file. This time, it's different! :-)

First, for those interested in my trip to the Macworld Expo in
San Francisco:
I scanned 37 pictures, made them smaller and put them in a number of web
pages. The index to these pictures is at this URL:

To celibrate the fourth anniversary of the GSL again a survey was held
amongst the readers. This time everyone, not just the mailing list
subscribers, were free to return the form. Up till 31 december the forms
could be returned, which only a few did.
Many thanks to those who did return their form, but I think it doesn't
fully represent all GSL readers and is therfore of little value. Next
anniversary we'll need to find a better way to celibrate...
You can find the results in a separate TeachText document with is
included with the GSL 3.7 archive.


Then I read in Apple's Info Alley of 23 Januari 1997:

     Question: What are the repercussions of removing the software
     [MP library] on a single-processor machine?

     Answer: In the future, more and more applications will become
     multi-processor aware and therefore will start to use Apple's MP API's.
     If the MP libraries are not present, a multi-processor aware
     application may crash or fail to launch.

HUH??? Am I missing something here???
David Sowell, Principal Software Engineer of DayStar Digital, Inc.
([e-mail]) wrote me:

     Probably not. The repercussions of removing the MP library will depend
     entirely on the applications that reference it, regardless of the
     number of processors involved.  It depends on how the individual
     applications are written. Some applications might run slower, some
     might run faster, some might not run at all. However, a correctly
     written program will never crash under these circumstances.

     Why might some applications run faster?  A developer might use the MP
     library's preemptive tasking facilities merely as a way to structure
     his program.  If his program is still able to run without the MP
     library installed, it might wind up running faster because it isn't
     incurring the MP library's tasking overhead.

So, just weak-link and test and nothing is wrong! If badly written the
application may indeed crash or fail to launch. But an application also
may run properly! Nothing new, so why warn the user for something which
shouldn't be his/her problem?


After a minor push on my part, the APPLE DEVELOPER NEWS #42 mentioned
the GSL. In case you missed it, here is the article:

     Technical Resource: The Gestalt Selectors List

     Do you know about the Gestalt Selectors List? It's a technical
     resource that can help you create robust Mac OS software that runs
     correctly on differently configured Mac OS computers.

     As you may know, the Gestalt Manager is a collection of system
     routines that allow your application to test for the availability of
     certain software and hardware. With the Gestalt function, your
     application can query the computer it's running on to determine the
     presence or absence of hardware features or software routines. (For
     example, you call the Gestalt function with the four-character
     "selector" value 'sysv' to determine the version of system software
     running.)

     Both Apple and third parties create Gestalt selectors, and there is no
     official list of selectors and their interpretations. Fortunately,
     Rene G.A. Ros has taken upon himself the task of soliciting knowledge
     about Gestalt selectors and compiling it into what he calls the
     Gestalt Selectors List, which he updates and distributes periodically.

     The information in the Gestalt Selectors List comes from many sources
     and cannot be guaranteed to be 100 percent accurate. Still, the list
     remains the most-used compilation of Gestalt selector information--so
     much so that it is included on numerous programming-related CDs,
     including Apple's own Bookmark CD (from develop magazine) and the
     Tool Chest Edition of the Apple Developer CD.

     You can get the latest Gestalt selector information by accessing the
     Gestalt Selectors List on the web:

     http://www.bio.vu.nl/home/rgaros/gestalt/

     You can also contact Rene with additions, corrections, comments, and
     suggestions at [e-mail].

Fabrizio Oddone mentioned the GSL with his article 'Preempting the Mac'
in MacTech Magazine #13. He showed it proudly when we met face to face
during the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. Two days after publication the
number of visits to the GSL Home Page sored to around 50 a day. But he was
beaten by the APPLE DEVELOPER NEWS #42, which caused 77 unique hits within
12 hours! The week following had every day 30 to 50 hits a day which was
previously around 20 a day.

"Also, would you like a free copy of any of my games? I really appreciate
the good work you do, and I'd be glad to send you copies of whatever games
you'd like." wrote David Cook of Storm Impact, Inc. to me. Thanks David! I
do really appreciate being appreciated! :-)
I haven't played all games yet, but the game MacSki is funny! One of the
courses you can choose from has many Dogcows wondering around the slope.
Guess what sound they make when you stumble over them!

Oh, and the Appearance Mgr (Appearance 8.0d1) does not install any selector.

Bye and see you later!

Apple System Software (A-D)
===========================
 cput (System [7.1.2?]) &AS04/AS05
      gestaltNativeCPUtype
      Returns a value that indicates the type of native processor that is
      currently running.

      enum {
      #define gestaltNativeCPUtype 'cput' /* Native CPU type */
      /* Motorola Architecture */
      gestaltCPU68000   = 1,

      gestaltCPU68020   = 3,
      gestaltCPU68030   = 4,
      gestaltCPU68040   = 5,

      gestaltCPU603     = 0x103,
      gestaltCPU604     = 0x104,
      gestaltCPU603e    = 0x106,  /* &AS22 */
      gestaltCPU603e166?= 0x107,  /* See note below */
      gestaltCPU604e?   = 0x109,

      /* PowerPC Architecture (Unreleased & Rumoured) */
|     gestaltArthur?    = ???,    /* 300 MHz & L2 on-board */
|     gestaltHelmwind?  = ???,    /* 200, 250, 300 MHz */
|     gestaltMach5?     = ???,    /* 300, 400 MHz */
      gestaltCPU614?    = ???,
      gestaltCPU615?    = ???,
      gestaltCPU620?    = ???,
      gestaltCPU630?    = ???,

                                      Technology Inc. */

      NOTE:
      The 'cput' selector is available on all Macs running System 7.5 or
      later and sometimes with System 7.1. If not available, use 'proc'
      selector. &AS22

      According to Universal Interfaces 3.0d3 Gestalt.h header file the
      Quadra 660AV and Quadra 840AV with System 7.1 always return 5 because
      of a ROM bug. But since they have a M68040, 5 is the correct value?
      Or after an PPC upgrade these two machines still return 5?
      System 7.5 fixes this problem. &AS22

      The GestaltEqu.h file published with E.T.O. #12 was replaced by the
      one on E.T.O. #13. However there was made a mistake, it lists the 68K
      values in the range 0-4 while it should be 1-5 as listed above.
      This problem is acknowledged by Apple.
      You can fix this problem by using the declarations listed above or by
      using the GestaltEqu.h file from E.T.O. #13 but then test first the
      gestaltSysArchitecture ('sysa') selector and when it reports a 68K
      machine use gestaltProcessorType.
      However, System 7.5 and later were apperantly created using the
      incorrect header file and return the incorrect values.
      Example: 'cput' returns 3 and 'proc' returns 4.
      (Anonymous, Dave Radcliffe, Roland Mansson, Rene Ros)
      Now it seems a bug is made into a feature. The latest Gestalt
      header files explicity states the range 0-4 is the correct one. And
      the value returned on a Quadra 660AV and Quadra 840AV is indeed
      incorrect. I'am confused by all this, are you? (Rene Ros)

      Although the 166 MHz [and up] PowerPC 603e is pin compatible with the
      original 603e, it has physical differences such as die size and power
      consumption. And in little-endian addressing, performance is improved.
      The name "603ev" is apparently not the name chosen by Motorola
      engineers. (David Cook)

      To check whether the native system architecture is a MC680x0 or a
      PowerPC use the gestaltSysArchitecture ('sysa') selector. See for
      more information on the 68K processors the gestaltProcessorType
      ('proc') selector.

      There are also some problems with this selector on 68K Macintosh
      computers equipped with an accelerator board. See for more info the
      section 'Accelerated 68K Macintosh Computers' in the Reports chapter.

      NOTE:
|     Multiple bits can be set? On a PowerMac 8600/200 both bit 0 and 1 are
|     set. (Rene Ros)

      Bit 6 of the 'iic ' gestalt has been defined to indicate MBUS support.
      MBUS is a hardware module within some versions of a Motorola 6805
      microcontroller which is used to implement the Inter-Integrated
      Circuit Bus and allows for higher throughput than the Inter-Integrated
      Circuit Bus master that is implemented in firmware when no MBUS module
      is available. (Ray Montagne)

Apple Additional Software
=========================
|mpeg (QuickTime MPEG Extension ext [1.0])
|     ???
|     Indicates MPEG support in some form on your system.
|
|     NOTE:
|     This selector is not public. Originally the 'mpeg' selector
|     (returning 0) was supposed to tell the Apple Video Player app if the
|     MPEG card was installed. This application somehow did not simply query
|     QuickTime in the usual fashion.
|     Since this selector only exists because of backward compatibility it
|     is very likely to disappear next time the Apple Video Player app is
|     revised. Any application that tests for this selector is very likely
|     to break in the near future. (Maynard James Handley)

|clip (PC Clipboard appl [1.0] part of DOS Compatibility Card)

|     Returns the PC clipboard translator zone hint.
|     The PC Clipboard software places a "zone hint" in this selector which
|     is a hint to the translator where some memory might be found. This
|     will be a pointer to the application zone of the PC Clipboard
|     application. (Anonymous)

|     The PC clipboard translators place an error code in this selector that
|     can be used by the PC Clipboard application to determine why a
|     GetScrap request may have really failed. (Anonymous)
|
|     #define gestaltPCClipboardError? 'clpx'

 trip (WalkInit ext [1.0?])
|     (Location Manager INIT ext [1.0])
      gestaltWalkaboutAttr
|     Returns information about the Location Manager (codename Walkabout)
      extension. (Anonymous)

      enum{
      #define gestaltWalkaboutAttr = 'trip'
      gestaltWalkaboutPresent = 0};

      NOTE: See also the gestaltWalkaboutVers ('walk') selector.

 walk (WalkInit ext [1.0?])
|     (Location Manager INIT ext [1.0])
      gestaltWalkaboutVers
|     Returns the version of the Location Manager (codename Walkabout)
      extension as NumVersion. (Anonymous)

Third Parties Software
======================
|Zoom (Aaron ext [1.5.2?] by Greg Landweber & Edward Voas)
|     (Kaleidoscope cp [1.0.1?] by Greg Landweber, Fred Bass & Edward Voas)
|     gestaltSpinningRectsAddr?
|     The response is a hook into Aaron/Kaleidoscope that lets you use
|     Aaron/Kaleidoscope's code for drawing Copland-style "spinning rects";
|     like the ones displayed by the Finder when you double-click a disk or
|     folder icon. The response returned is a UPP to a routine with the
|     following prototype:
|
|     typedef pascal void ( * AaronZoomProcPtr )
|         ( const Rect * iconRect, const Rect * windowRect,
|           Boolean opening ) ;
|
|     where the "opening" parameter specifies whether the spinning rects
|     should start from the icon rect and end with the window rect or vice
|     versa. (Marco Piovanelli)

|     #define gestaltSpinningRectsAddr? 'Zoom'

Gestalt Applications
--------------------
 (by Rene Ros)

 Several specialized applications are available to display all installed
 Gestalt selectors. And several other applications heavily depend on the
 Gestalt Manager to show information on hardware and software.

 Only a few locations are listed here, use the filename to search for other
 locations. And use the nearest mirror site of FTP sites.

|AnGST 1.2 by Todd McDaniel
      Small and simple application which displays the result of a few pre-
      defined selectors.

Macintosh Compatibles
---------------------
 (by Rene Ros, contributions by Jean-Pierre Curcio, Kenneth Knotts and Marc
  Schrier. Also based on MacWEEK articles and GURU application by Newer
  Technologies.)

 So far the clone manufacturers have released computers which hardware
 is identical, though clockspeed may be different, to other computers
 released by Apple. This was part of the license agreement. The first
 compatibles with their own machine IDs are those from Motorola (9/96).
 This section contains a table of clone model names and the equivalent Apple
 ID number and constant name.

 The Pioneer clone (codename Pioneer MPC-GX1 where MPC stands for Multimedia
 Personal Computer) was observed at CeBIT '95.

About this list
===============
For this update this chapter only includes the 'Gestalt Submission Form',
'Acknowledgements' and 'Editors' Address' sections.

Gestalt Submission Form
-----------------------
You can use this form to report information you found on already included
selectors. But you can also use it to register new Gestalt selector codes.
If you want to register the selector code your software installs, make sure
you registered your code first with Apple Computer, Inc. Also, it is your
good right if you chose to keep the meaning of the response value private.
If so, still register so that others can at least detect your software by
determining if the selector is present.

Software means, in this form, the software which installs the selector
code. Not the whole package, just the extension or control panel (perhaps
application) itself.
The package is the product name in which the software is included and
distributed.
If data is not available or relevant, leave it blank. When the selector
contains non-ASCII characters, please also provide the hexadecimal value.

You can also fill in this form on-line because it is also on the WWW
pages of the GSL: http://www.bio.vu.nl/home/rgaros/gestalt/
