-
- The ByteWorks _Programmer's Reference For System 6.0_ is *the* official
- programmer documentation for System 6.
-
- It supercedes the ERSs releases on the System 6 CD. When there are
- discrepencies between the two, believe the Programmer's Reference!
-
- The ByteWorks documentation started with the ERSs from the CD. Then
- Mike Westerfield edited it, and Apple people reviewed his drafts and
- made extensive comments that he integrated into the finished product.
-
- Along the way we put in lots of clarifications and some corrections.
-
- If you're writing software for 6.0, the programmer's reference is a
- must-have. (You can indeed think of it as Volume 4 of the GS Toolbox
- Reference, but it covers much more than the toolbox.)
