- But it really sucks.
-
- The _Macintosh Inside Out_ series thus far has been quite good. But
- _Extending the Macintosh Toolbox_ is *really bad*. I'm pissed off that
- I spent good money on a book with lots of sample code that is just *bad*.
- Much of it won't compile, and was clearly converted from pascal to c.
-
- I got the book because it looked like it had some good stuff in it; now I
- really wish I had looked it over more carefully.
