This month we’ve rebuilt the Utilities folder. Updates to the folder include Disinfectant 3.7.1, Disk Copy 6.1.3, Drive Setup 1.3, HyperCard Player 2.3.5, HyperCard Update 2.3.6 (including the HyperCard stack for Mac OS 8), and Macintosh CD-ROM Setup 5.3.2.
In addition to the Utilities updates, we’ve included Windows versions of QuickDraw 3D 1.5.2 and QuickTake (DOS 1.4 MB format), the July and August editions of Apple Directions, and the following new and revised files for September.
Enhanced Macintosh PowerBook 1400 Developer Note
This folder features a developer note for the latest model of the PowerBook 1400 computer, a faster version of the previous PowerBook 1400. This developer note compares the new model with its earlier counterparts, describing only the changes and new features.
The latest PowerBook 1400 model includes the following changes: higher processor speed, a built-in second-level (L2) cache, a larger internal disk, a faster built-in CD-ROM drive, an upgraded system ROM to support the 166-MHz clock speed, and version 7.6.1 of the Mac OS.
GXGraphics 1.1.6
The GXGraphics 1.1.6 extension encompasses the QuickDraw GX graphics and line-layout capabilities without QuickDraw GX printing. The new 1.1.6 extension replaces the older 1.1.3 version and fixes minor “cosmetic” bugs.
Instrumentation SDK 1.0.5
The Instrumentation SDK 1.0.5 is a powerful tool for “instrumenting” your code for performance analysis. By adding extra code to your program, you can use this software development kit to gather information about how your program executes—including how many times routines are called, what other routines are called, and how much time routines take to execute.
Interfaces & Libraries
This package contains the most recent released versions of interfaces and libraries for Mac OS development. The folder contains AIncludes, AStructMacs, CIncludes, PInterfaces, RIncludes, Runtime Libraries for Power Macintosh, libraries and interfaces required to run MPW and CFM-68K Additions, and Libraries and Debugging Libraries, as well as other development-related files.
Load PCI Driver
The Load PCI Driver utility allows PCI driver writers to load and unload 'ndrv' resources without having to restart.
TradDriverLoaderLib 1.0b5
This package contains a number of routines that are helpful in installing traditional Mac OS device drivers (of type 'DRVR'). TradDriverLoaderLib mimics the API (application programming interface) of the PCI DriverLoaderLib library as much as possible, which makes TradDriverLoaderLib easier to use in an environment supporting both PCI native drivers (of type 'ndrv') and traditional Mac OS drivers.
