Some time ago, in a building far, far away, one of our engineers (Greg Branche) rewrote many parts of CLib to make them better, faster, and smaller. We've used that newer CLib in all of the C-based tools in the APW Tools & Interfaces package (shipping for quite some time now) and for the underpinnings of PLib (used in MPW IIGS Pascal). Now, for the first time, in it's world debut, we're making this newer CLib available to our developers.
This new library is not yet 100% tested (i.e.: that's why it's in a folder marked "NotFullyTested"). If you find a problem with this new library, please notify us immediately (send an email to AIIDTS if you have AppleLink access). This library is very stable (we've beaten most of the bugs out of it already) and the new Start.xxx files fix some problems found in the original Start.xxx files (the old ones didn't bother to shut down SANE when the application you developed was Quit by the user).
Install the pieces of this folder just like your current library is installed. If you're using APW C, then you need CLib and Start.Root. If you're using MPW IIGS, then you'll need CLib and Start.Obj.
The C-based DTS source code samples are written assuming the new CLib and some of them don't work perfectly with the old CLib. So, if you're having problems, try this newer version of CLib. You'll also HAVE to use the new Start.Obj or Start.Root file as well (since the new CLib expects certain changes that are in the new Start.xxx file).
