Take, for instance, documentation on the sound manager in system 6.07. This is a product that has not only been announced, but is shipping. I have pleasantly been informed, however, that the documentation is in IM VI. (Available to Apple Partners) and has recently been put on AppleLink. (Available to Apple Certified Developers). APDA on the other hand does not have this documentation nor do they know when they will have it. (The poor woman who told me this, was very trully sorry as I must have been the 50th caller with the same question). I've asked the net on various occasions, with different tones of pleading and anger. (The first time I got no response, the second time a flame from Apple). So, unless you might show me where to get this information (this year), please don't hold up Apple's banner. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Apple is out to get me :-) they just don't realize there are people who program their computers that can't afford to be called "Developers." By the way, I really would appreciate those Sound Manager & Sound Input Manager docs if some kind developer would send them to me. :-} Darren Garnier -- Darren Garnier darth@athena.mit.edu | Some rise, some fall, garnier@alcvax.pfc.mit.edu | some try to get to Terrapin.
