Inside Macintosh: Operating System Utilities /

Preface - About This Book

The 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. When showing system software routines, this book uses the Pascal interface available with the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW).

All code listings in this book are shown in Pascal or assembly language. They show methods of using various routines and illustrate techniques for accomplishing particular tasks. All code listings have been compiled and in many cases tested. However, Apple Computer, Inc., does not intend for you to use these code samples in your application.
