- DESC: TN.153.New IU - The International Utilities package and the
- KEY: TN.153.New IU KBytes: 7168
- DESC: international resources have been changed with System file 4.1 to

- DESC: #160 - Key Mapping. Revised by Jim Luther, Peter Edberg, & Imran
- KEY: TN.160.Key Mapping KBytes: 13312
- DESC: Sayeed February 1991. Written by Cameron Birse September 1987. This
- DESC: Technical Note describes the Macintosh family key code mapping
- DESC: scheme when running System file 4.1 and later. This Note also
- DESC: provides a “safe” method for remapping keyboards. Changes since
- DESC: October 1990 - Added a section on how 'KMAP' resources are matched
- DESC: to specific ADB keyboard types and a section on the original
- DESC: Macintosh and Macintosh Plus keyboards.

- 35 TN.166.C Glue 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN. 166.C Glue - MPW 2.0 includes new C interfaces to ROM routines
- KEY: TN.166.C Glue KBytes: 5120
- DESC: which no longer do string and point conversions. These new
- DESC: interfaces are described here. In MPW prior to 2.0, the C
- DESC: interfaces to Macintosh OS and Toolbox routines that had strings or
- DESC: points as arguments required following these rules 1. Strings must
- DESC: be passed as C strings (null terminated). 2. Points must be passed
- DESC: by address.
- 34 TN.167.AS Foreground 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.167.AS Foreground - This technical note outlines the requirements
- KEY: TN.167.AS Foreground KBytes: 4096
- DESC: and restrictions of an AppleShare foreground application. This
- DESC: information pertains to AppleShare versions 1.1 and newer. An
- DESC: AppleShare server requires a dedicated Macintosh. The server,
- DESC: however, is implemented as an interrupt-driven application that
- DESC: runs in the system heap of the server machine.

- DESC: TN.171 - This Technical Note describes the format of data packed by
- KEY: TN.171._PackBits KBytes: 6144
- DESC: the Toolbox utility _PackBits and documents a change to the
- DESC: srcBytes limit and possible worst case.

- 28 TN.173.PrGeneral Bug 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.173.PrGeneral Bug - This technical note documents a bug in the
- KEY: TN.173.PrGeneral Bug KBytes: 5120
- DESC: implementation of the PrGeneral procedure in the LaserWriter driver
- DESC: version 4.0. The bug has to do with the format of the information
- DESC: returned by the GetRslData opcode. This technical note will also
- DESC: describe a workaround for the problem.

- 27 TN.174.PrintAction 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.174.PrintAction - This technical note describes how Print Drivers
- KEY: TN.174.PrintAction KBytes: 7168
- DESC: can access the Script Manager Print Action routine to print
- DESC: unconventional text, such as Japanese or Arabic.
- DESC:
- 24 TN.177.WNE Bug/1.0 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.177.WNE Bug/1.0 - This Technical Note discusses a bug in
- KEY: TN.177.WNE Bug/1.0 KBytes: 4096
- DESC: WaitNextEvent in MultiFinder 1.0. This bug only occurs when
- DESC: WaitNextEvent is called from the background. This bug will be fixed
- DESC: in the next release of MultiFinder. Change since 11/87: the bug
- DESC: will be fixed in Systems with versions greater than $04FF.

- 23 TN.178.Sorting 2 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.178.Sorting - This technical note describes how to modify the
- KEY: TN.178.Sorting KBytes: 17408
- DESC: standard string comparison by constructing an itl2 resource.
- DESC: Developers may want to modify the standard string comparison if
- DESC: Apple’s comparison doesn’t meet their needs or if Apple has not
- DESC: written a string comparison routine for the language that concerns
- DESC: them.

- 22 TN.179.ioNamePtr 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.179.ioNamePtr - It is very important to set ioNamePtr when making
- KEY: TN.179.ioNamePtr KBytes: 3072
- DESC: PB calls, even if you don’t want those calls to return a name.
- DESC: Whenever Inside Macintosh indicates that ioNamePtr is either
- DESC: required for input or returns something, you must set ioNamePtr to
- DESC: either nil (if you aren’t using a name) or to point to storage for
- DESC: a Str255. If you don’t explicitly set ioNamePtr, strange and
- DESC: unusual crashes may occur, depending on the machine/configuration
- DESC: your code is run on.

- 16 TN.185.OpenRFPerm 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.185.OpenRFPerm - This note corrects an error in the description
- KEY: TN.185.OpenRFPerm KBytes: 4096
- DESC: of the Resource Manager routine OpenRFPerm found in Inside
- DESC: Macintosh Volume IV.

- 14 TN.187.ioPosOffset 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.187.ioPosOffset - The Device Manager chapter of Inside Macintosh
- KEY: TN.187.ioPosOffset KBytes: 3072
- DESC: Volume II says that ioPosOffset is passed to and returned by Read
- DESC: and Write calls. It also says that “After the read [or write] is
- DESC: completed, the position is returned in ioPosOffset…” Actually,
- DESC: ioPosOffset is not changed by either call. Also note that device
- DESC: drivers should only look at the dCtlPosition field of the DCE, and
- DESC: should not look directly at the ioPosOffset field of the parameter
- DESC: block. The Device Manager sets up dCtlPosition for the driver,
- DESC: taking into account both the ioPosMode and the ioPosOffset.

- 10 TN.191.Font Names 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.191.Font Names - This note recommends the use of font names
- KEY: TN.191.Font Names KBytes: 9216
- DESC: rather than font numbers. The Font Manager chapter of Inside
- DESC: Macintosh Volume IV claims that font family numbers 0 through 127
- DESC: are reserved for use by Apple, and numbers 128 through 255 are
- DESC: assigned by Apple for fonts created by software developers. This is
- DESC: no longer true. Developer Technical Support does not assign font
- DESC: family numbers. You should only use font numbers to reference the
- DESC: system font (font 0) and application default font (font 1). All
- DESC: other fonts should be identified by name. The Font/DA Mover will
- DESC: renumber a font when moving it into a file containing a conflicting
- 6 TN.195.ASP & AFP 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.195.ASP & AFP - The descriptions of the AppleTalk Session
- KEY: TN.195.ASP & AFP KBytes: 4096
- DESC: Protocol and AppleTalk Filing Protocol functions within the body of
- DESC: the AppleTalk Manager chapter are incorrect and conflict with those
- DESC: in the Summary of the AppleTalk Manager. This technical note
- DESC: resolves the discrepancy.

- 4 TN.197.Chooser PACK 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.197.Chooser PACK - Beginning with version 3.2, the Chooser has
- KEY: TN.197.Chooser PACK KBytes: 11264
- DESC: been enhanced to provide support for additional controls. As stated
- DESC: in Inside Macintosh IV-217, the Chooser communicates with device
- DESC: packages as if they were the following function:
- 3 TN.198.NFNTs 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.198.NFNTs - Font/DA Mover version 3.8 (shipped with System 6.0)
- KEY: TN.198.NFNTs KBytes: 11264
- DESC: incorporates support for 'NFNT' resources and styled font family
- DESC: members. This note discusses several issues concerning the
- DESC: arrangement of font-related resources and their IDs. It also
- DESC: documents the proper arrangement of font resources within the font
- DESC: files that Font/DA Mover uses.

- 2 TN.199.KillNBP 1 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-15-1991
- DESC: TN.199.KillNBP - This technical note clears up some confusion
- KEY: TN.199.KillNBP KBytes: 4096
- DESC: regarding the Name Binding Protocol KillNBP function. The
- DESC: description of the PKillNBP function on page 519 of Inside
- DESC: Macintosh Volume V is somewhat confusing. The data type of the
- DESC: parameter thePBptr is incorrectly given as ATPPBPtr and the pointer
- DESC: to the queue element from the NBP call to be aborted is incorrectly
- DESC: given as being passed in aKillQEl. The following is a correct
- DESC: description of the KillNBP function:
