- I just received an upgrade offer for think reference from Symantec.
- Has anyone actually purchased the upgrade? (at a hefty $39 for
- volume 6). Does it contain all the calls for Quicktime? I am kinda
- stuck trying to decompress some images and this would be really
- hepful. Just wondering.
-
- THINK Reference 2.0 doesn't include documentation for QuickTime or for
- the Component Manager. It contains all the information in Inside Mac
- I-VI, updated with respect to the latest tech notes and NIM releases.
-
- Short sales pitch follows...
-
- The new release also supports drop-in databases, context-free
- hyperlinks, and AppleEvents. Drop in databases will make it possible
- for Symantec to come out with database upgrades or additions (such as
- QuickTime), and allows users to remove databases they don't need.
-
- Context-free hyperlinks allow you to type any hyperlink from any page.
- For example, you can be looking at the ControlRecord structure, type
- in ADBOp, and hit return to take you to the ADBOp trap description.
-
- TR 2.0 supports two AppleEvents which allow third-party programs to
- look up templates for toolbox calls (a la Apple's 411) and to bring up
- TR with a particular entry frontmost.
-
- It even has an entry for the DogCow...
