This message contains a (long) index of what I've got of the Mac Tec Documents.
I have waited two years for it to be organised by Apple... I finally 
decided that I had to do it myself.

It contains all the tech doc I've got from apple including Dec 85 supplement
and some other stuff that I don't know if everyone gets. There are also some
articles from magazines (MacTutor, MacDeveloper).

** FLAME ON **
	?? WHY HASN'T APPLE DONE THIS ??
		Apple should organize all the documentation into ring
		binders divided inte different subjects (as below)
		Issue peridocal updates with indication of what to replace
		or where to put new stuff. That way you could always
		know when you miss something and you could look into someone
		elses docs without getting totally lost.
		(I *HATE* 1-page undated papers giving a small hint)

		I would imagine 1 (one) person doing this job so I don't think
		it would be to expensive to a multi-billion-company like apple.
** FLAME OFF **

To say something positive the technotes is a step in the right direction. But
they should be divided into groups of different areas, not just linear.
