Description:
10+ Commandments - The world of Macintosh is changing rapidly. With a
plethora of new Macintosh CPUs and the prospect of even stranger, non-68K
CPUs on the horizon, how’s a programmer supposed to keep up? Maybe it’s
time to review some basic tenets of Macintosh programming and point out
some future pitfalls. Not only is it important that Apple evolve new
hardware; Apple must evolve the operating system as well. The issues
discussed here affect the ability of Apple to transform the Macintosh
Operating System into a modern operating system. As you write new code, or
review old code, be aware of these issues.

A/UX 2.0 implementation of which developers should be aware, so that their
Macintosh applications also work properly under A/UX. Changes since April
1989. This Note formerly described A/UX 1.1 Toolbox Bugs, but has been
completely rewritten to cover A/UX 2.0 compatibility. Changes since June
1990. Changes due to A/UX 2.0.1, also added some new important issues.

work on A/UX as well. Changes since August 1990. Added information about
how to make use of fork() system calls under MultiFinder, as well as how
various A/UX system calls behave under the MultiFinder emulation mode.

Path = AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Overview:A5 and Patching traps.sit
Size: 5K Date:10/29/92 Version:
Description:
A5 and Patching traps - Future software may allow desk accessories to have
their own globals by changing register A5 when the accessory is entered and
exited. This can cause problems for applications that patch traps without
following certain rules.
Name = A5 in GrowZone Procs.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Memory:A5 in GrowZone Procs.sit
Size: 5K Date:10/29/92 Version:
Description:
A5 in GrowZone Procs - If you have a grow zone function, it may get called
when a system routine is trying to allocate memory. Because this can
happen, you can’t be guaranteed that register A5 will be correct. If your
grow zone function depends on A5, you should save register A5, load A5 from
the low-memory global CurrentA5 (a long word at $904), and restore the
caller’s A5 before you exit.

Name = ADBReInit in sys 4.2 - Don'.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Hardware:ADBReInit in sys 4.2 - Don'.sit
Size: 5K Date: 6/22/93 Version:
Description:
ADBReInit in sys 4.2 - Because of a bug (which causes auto-repeat) in the
ROM version of the Macintosh SE keyboard driver, a patch was placed in
System 4.1. If ADBReInit is called, the ROM version of the keyboard driver
will be reloaded, and the RAM version of the driver with the patches will
not be used. Therefore, it is recommended that ADBReInit not be called on
the Macintosh SE until the problem is fixed. (There is no need to call
ADBReInit.) This problem will not occur with the Macintosh II ROM version
of the keyboard driver.

Name = ARA GetPortGlobal.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:MacTechNotes:Networking:ARA GetPortGlobal.sit
Size: 7K Date:12/07/93 Version:
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...
