Promotional Edition
A Letter from the Macintosh Developers Group 15 March 1985
Dear Reader:

After many months of work the Macintosh Division's User Education Group (responsible for all the Macintosh
documentation) has completed the manuscript for Inside Macintosh. We've finalized production arrangements
with a major publisher and you can expect to see the final edition at better bookstores everywhere by late summer
'85. However, we can't wait that long and don't expect you to either. We've therefore produced this special
Promotional Edition to handle the demand for Inside Macintosh until the final edition becomes available. The
contents of this edition are still preliminary and subject to change; the final edition will include many updates and
corrections. The production quality of the final edition will be significantly improved from this inexpensive edition.

Now, here are answers to some questions we anticipate:
Q. I purchased the three-ring binder version of Inside Macintosh from your mail-house for
$100 and also bought the Software Supplement for $100. Is this Promotional Edition the
final copy I'm supposed to receive for purchasing the Software Supplement?
A. No. As promised, Supplement owners will receive a copy of the final version when it's available.

Q. How can I get Macintosh developer utilities, example programs, example source code, the
libraries I need to do Lisa Pascal/Macintosh cross-development work, and additional copies of
this manual?
A.The Software Supplement consists of: 1) useful Macintosh utilities, example programs, and example source code,
2) the interface files, equate files, and trap definitions in both Macintosh and Lisa readable format, 3) all of the
libraries required for Lisa Pascal/Macintosh cross-development, 4) a new Lisa Pascal Compiler, which supports
SANE numerics, and 5) a copy of the final published edition of Inside Macintosh (this will be sent to you when
available). The price for the Software Supplement is $100. As of April '85 the Software Supplement has been
frozen to correspond to Inside Macintosh and automatic updates will no longer be included in the Software
Supplement price. We will, however, inform Supplement owners of other products and utilities as they become
available. You may also order additional copies of this special Promotional Edition of Inside Macintosh for $25
per copy.

You can order the Software Supplement and/or copies of this Promotional Edition of Inside Macintosh by
writing to (California residents please add 6.5% sales tax) :
Apple Computer, Inc.
467 Saratoga Avenue Suite 621
San Jose, CA 95129
(408) 988-6009

Q. Is there a good way to keep up-to-date with new utilities and technical notes and at the
same time stay in touch with other developers?
A. We've found that electronic distribution is a very cost-effective, timely way to keep the developer world
up-to-date. At least two major on-line services, Delphi and Compuserve, host the MicroNetworked Apple Users'
Group (MAUG)--an electronic service open to all people who are interested in or have information to share about
Apple products. MAUG is an independently run service and is not affiliated with Apple Computer, Inc. If you have a
modem and communication software you can sign-on and download the latest developer utilities from the Macintosh
Software Supplement, example programs, technical notes, and documentation. You can also carryon electronic
conversations with hundreds of other Macintosh developers. For more information on these services please write to
either:
Delphi Compuserve
3 Blackstone Street 5000 Arlington Centre Boulevard
Cambridge, MA 02139 Columbus, OH 43220
(617) 491-3393 (614) 457-8600
(800) 544-4005 (toll-free outside of Massachusetts)

All of us in the Macintosh Division would like to thank you for your support of Macintosh development. We'll
continue to provide the programs, tools, and documentation to assist your efforts.

We'd love to hear from you on any topic related to Macintosh Development. Send your letters to Apple Computer,
