- Shameless plug - if you're thinking of getting Think Reference, check
- out ObiWan first, its not as full blown as TR, but it has all the System
- 7 stuff, plus you can write your own databases as well (I have a
- theasaurus database for instance). I'll be releasing the database in
- the next couple days for those of you without MPW's PInterfacesHelp file
- since Apple has sorted out licensing the file to me (for free! :-).
- ObiWan is free and is on sumex-aim.stanford.edu:/info-mac/cp, stay tuned
- for the System 7 database real soon now. (No, it doesn't have the
- QuickTime stuff either, though I have a program mostly written that
- converts pascal interface files into databases, so if I get that sorted
- out, producing a QuickTime database should be easy. Quinn says he's got
- a TechNote database sorted out, so I'll include that too...
-
- Have fun all,
- Peter.
