Reference Library Edition, June 1998
Technical Publications
This folder contains Enterprise & Internet Docs; Hardware Developer Documentation, a collection of Developer Notes; Multimedia Developer Documentation; Mac OS Developer Documentation, the complete collection of books, organized by topic, that describe the system software of Macintosh computers. This documentation provides the essential reference for programmers, designers, and engineers creating applications for the Macintosh family of computers.
AIAT
The Apple Information Access Toolkit (AIAT) is an object-oriented information access engine that provides required capabilities to index, search, and analyze large volumes of documents. The AIAT, formerly known by its code name “V-Twin,” is a collection of tools which can be used separately or together to perform a variety of information access tasks.
SyncCatch
SyncCatch is a debugging tool that catches synchronous File Manager and Device Manager requests made from code running as the result of an interrupt. If it catches one of these illegal synchronous requests, it drops into MacsBug with a message.
CD-ROM Detection
Sample code and discussion of how to detect whether a volume is a CD or not. Discusses the various drawbacks of all the different approaches.
DriverGestaltExplorer
DriverGestaltExplorer is both sample code showing how to call Driver Gestalt and a useful tool for testing your block device driver’s support of Driver Gestalt.
RAVE Starter Samples
There are three different samples here, each showing a variation on the same theme -- we create a window and do some simple 2D drawing into it. These samples don't show any clipping code or a full featured 3D engine; these will appear in a future sample.
Set LED
A sample program which demonstrates how to make the ADBOp call under 68K, PPC and CFM-68K environments. The program sample will cause the Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock Keys to blink until the mouse is pressed. This program is a modification of the LEDApp which was written by Greg Robbins in 1991
OpenTransport 1.3
This package includes both the Open Transport v1.3 Debug Installer and the Open Transport v1.3 SDK
Updated version of Open Transport which includes numerous bug fixes. Some of the new features in OT 1.3 are support for CFM-68K in the client Open Transport API, and Single Link Multihoming support.
MoreFiles 1.4.8
MoreFiles is a collection of high-level routines written to answer common File Manager questions and to show how to perform common operations involving the Mac OS file system.
MoreFiles provides: high-level and FSSpec style routines for parameter-block only File Manager calls; useful utility routines that perform many common File Manager related operations; a robust file copy routine; a recursive directory copy routine; a catalog searching routines; high-level and FSSpec style routines for Desktop Manager calls; and routines for dealing with pathnames. See the file "!MoreFiles Read Me" for a description of fixes & improvements in version 1.4.8.
