Subject: Mac Pgming Secrets sources 

Attached are the sources to examples from Scott Knaster's and Keith
Rollin's book _Macintosh Programming Secrets_, 2nd edition.

Keith mentioned that he did not know how to send stuff to sumex-aim; so, I
assumed he wanted it here ;-)

Anyway, here's what he had to say:

A few days ago, people were asking about the possibility of making the
source code to Macintosh Programming Secrets (2nd Edition) available via
ftp. Among the reasons against this, I cited that I really didn't have
access to an ftp site.

Oddly ( :-) ), this prompted at least three ftp site administrators to send
me mail saying "You can use mine!" So I've sent the source to them.
Already, it's shown up on two of them. Here are the locations:

    ftp.apple.com (/dts/mac/sc/mps-disk-v1-0-1.hqx)
    mac.archive.umich.edu (I don't see it there, yet)
    ftp.gmd.de (/mac/books/mps-examples-1.0.1.hqx)

I don't know how to submit things to sumex-aim, or I'd send it there, too.

In case you're curious as to exactly what the source code is I'm talking
about, I've appended a summary of the book I posted last June.

Scott Knaster and I wish you all the best with this sample code.

----------

The second edition is almost entirely new.

As you may recall, the first edition was split into two parts. The first
part was a historical background and philosophy section. The second part
was a technical section (but, alas, lacking in source code samples). The
two sections were divided by a cartoon showing how the event manager
worked.

In the new edition, the book is still split up into two parts. The first
section is mostly the same, updated to take out anachronisms (like
references to the possibilities of multi-tasking and 32-bit cleanliness)
and add current information (like System 7.0 stuff).

The cartoon has been replaced by famous Apple About boxes. The first is the
unexpurgated MultiFinder 1.0 about box (the official release version had
all the good parts bleeped; we've put them back in for the book). The
second is the text from the circus parade from one of the preliminary 7.0
