- field of the ioDrUsrWds record of a parameter block (also offset $28).
- They may change with newer versions of the Finder. Finder 7.1.1 assigns the
- following meanings to the flags (see the actual file). Changes since March
- 1988 - This version updates the meanings of several of the bits which
- changed in System 7 and System 7 Pro.

- Description:
- Printing Loop Cares - A Printing Loop that Cares - This Technical Note
- discusses opening and closing the Printing Manager with calls to _PrOpen
- and _PrClose as well as how to handle errors at print time. Changes since
- October 1990 - Added code in both versions to handle printing documents
- larger than 128 pages. Introduction - At one time, Apple recommended that
- developers call _PrOpen at the beginning of their application and _PrClose
- at the end, before returning to the Finder. This recommendation was in the
- ancient past when an application only had to deal with a single printer
- driver. As more printer drivers became available, it became important for
- an application to consider the presence of other applications.

- Description:
- ARA GetPortGlobal - This Technical Note documents the Remote Access Manager
- (RAM) GetUserPortGlobalsPtr call. In order to make the RAM Status call on a
- machine that is setup to answer calls, you must first make the
- GetUserPortGlobalsPtr call to retrieve a pointer to the globals for the
- user port. The Apple Remote Access (ARA) 1.0 client software supports
- dial-out and answering capabilities through a single port called the “user”
- port (the modem or printer port on your Mac). This means that when you
- setup your machine to answer calls, you can answer only one call at a time
- on the user port. However, the underlying ARA architecture was designed so
- that in the future multiple ports may be supported...

- Description:
- SCSI Termination - The introduction of the Apple Workgroup Server 95 has
- led to questions with regard to the SCSI termination requirements for the
- internal Processor Direct Slot Card and the SCSI busses that it supports.
- The internal and external SCSI buses on the AWS95 are two separate
- electrical buses that are logically treated as one via software. This means
- external cabling and termination issues do not affect the internal bus and
- vice-versa. Both buses are terminated at the main board. Find out more by

- Configuring Inodes - This technical note documents methods for

- allocation, which proves to be important in large size file systems by
- reclaiming disk space. The newfs command makes a Berkeley 4.2 UNIX file
- system (UFS) on the specified device file. The A/UX version of HD SC Setup
- invokes newfs when creating a UFS. Each file on the system is represented
- by an inode, which contains critical information about the file, including
- ownership, permissions, size, etc. The newfs command allocates disk space
- for inodes when the UFS is created. Find out more!
