There is an inconsistency in Inside Macintosh V regarding the definition of SysEnvirons. In the text it says that SysEnvirons expects to be passed a pointer to a record which it will fill out with environment information. In the end-chapter summary it says that SysEnvirons expects the actual record. This matters, you see, because if the record gets expanded later to contain more information, I don't want my stack to be destroyed. Will future versions of SysEnvirons be smart enough not to fill out a version 2 record if I only request version 1? The LightSpeed Pascal interfaces believe the summary at the end of the chapter.
