Preface - About This Book

Development Environment

The system software routines described in this book are available using Pascal, C, or assembly-language interfaces. How you access these routines depends on the development environment you are using. This book shows system software routines in their Pascal interface, C interface, or assembly language using the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW).

Code listings in this book are shown in MPW Pascal or MPW C or MPW Assembler. They suggest methods of using various routines and illustrate techniques for accomplishing particular tasks. Most code listings have been compiled and tested, although in some cases only fragments of the full listings are shown. However, Apple Computer does not intend that you use exactly these code samples in your application.
