Old MacDev Documentation
This document provides an index to documentation created by MIT's
MacDev team. The documents are primarily aimed at the developer
community rather than the end user. We hope that these documents
will be of benefit to developers both internal and external to
MIT.
- During the summer of '93 Alexandra Ellwood investigated
authenticated printing on the Mac. She wrote a small document on
external
code resources.
- During the summer of '94 Edward Slottow began porting TechInfo to the
PowerPC. He wrote up some notes on the porting
issues. These include notes on converting from MPW to
CodeWarrior.
- During IAP of '95 Edward performed some maintenance on the
Mac Hesiod and resolv libraries and
packaged this work up for external distribution.
- Edward's IAP '95 work also included some maintenance work on
our BSD
library for the Mac.
- Edward added support for KClient to TechNotify in Spring '95. He
wrote a short document on how to add
KClient support to other programs.
- Although the use of WWW is rapidly causing TechInfo to be
obsolete this source code availability may be of benefit to many
novice Mac developers or developers new to client server programming.
Before grabbing the source you may want to look at the notes on
how to build
TechInfo.
- In the summer of '93 Edward looked at the TE32k library as
a substitute for the standard Mac edit control. This control was
incorporated into TechInfo to test its capabilities. The goal
was to allow the Mac version of TechInfo to easily view and provide
documents greater then 32Kb in length.
Binaries and sources for macdev products are generally available via
anonymous ftp to net-dist
. You may also wish to browse the macdev tree under AFS. Most developers should
obtain the source and binaries via net-dist rather afs since the afs
versions may be in a state of flux.
The macdev team runs an Athena mailing list. This is used primarily for
internal communications. Before requesting to be added to the list you
may wish to browse the discuss
archive of the list.
