A Macintosh programmer has to read most of Inside Macintosh at least once,
and consult it whenever he or she wants to recall the syntax or semantics of
a specific function or procedure.
Problem to be solved :
----------------------
The problem we want to address here is that Inside Macintosh is :
- A book of 800 pages of well over 500 routines.
- Poorly indexed.
- Needed frequently during programming, hence it should be easy to
retrieve the information needed by a programmer.
MacMan solution :
-----------------
As a solution, MAcMan and DAMacMan were developed as a tool
for the Macintosh programmer, not the casual user.
The Project :
-------------
Two database systems were written, tested, and made fully operational
on Mac Plus, or Mac XL!
MacMan :
--------
A desktop application that retrieves Inside Macintosh information
to procedure/function name or alternatively, according to toolbox
manager category. Provides Multiple resizable windows, scrolling,
Text wraparound, copy/paste between database and clipboard.
DAMacMan :
----------
Restricted form of MacMan that does what the desktop version
of MacMan does, but runs as a desk accessory. It does not support
Multiple windows, but Can be used from within any application
, concurrently, such as an editor.
This package is a user support software, if interested in getting
a copy send us a blank disk and a self-addressed envelope.
