Correction to Discussion of Routine Descriptors
Page 1-17, Routine Descriptors
The last paragraph on this page mentions "the value passed in the
gActionProc parameter". This is a typographical error. The correct
description should be "the value passed in the myActionProc parameter."
Correction to Figure 1-2
Page 1-24, Imports and Exports
Figure 1-2 contains an incorrect label." Exit to Shell" should be "ExitToShell."
Clarification of MakePEF
Page 1-26, Imports and Exports; page 1-38, Executable Resources
The MPW tool MakePEF might be replaced by other equivalent tools in future
releases of the Macintosh on RISC development tools.

Correction to Listing 3-6
Page 3-14, Getting Information About Exported Symbols
The index used in a call to GetIndSymbol is zero-based, not one-based.
As a result, the for statement in Listing 3-6 should be as follows:
for (myIndex = 0; myIndex < myCount; myIndex++)
Clarification of GetDiskFragment Description
Page 3-19, 3-31
The constant kWholeFork (documented as a possible value for the
length parameter to GetDiskFragment) and all the Rez
constants listed on pages 3-30 through 3-31 are defined in the MPW interface
file CodeFragmentTypes.r. To use the constant kWholeFork in C
source files, you should define it to be 0.
Correction to FindSymbol Symbol Classes
Page 3-25, 3-32
The symbol class constants returned by FindSymbol are listed incorrectly.
The correct constants should be kCodeSym,kDataSym, and kTVectSym.
Correction to Description of GetIndSymbol
Page 3-26
The index used in a call to GetIndSymbol is zero-based, not one-based.
As a result, the description of the symIndex parameter should be as follows:
A symbol index. The value of this parameter should be greater than or equal to
0 and less than the value returned by the CountSymbols function.
