                     *** REPLACE YOUR FACE ***


As promised to several people, here are the results of the survey
about Mac architecture and assembly language:




Sounds like he needs the Macintosh 68000 Development System.  It
costs around $90 and comes with the two books he'll need:

	- Inside Macintosh
	- M68000 Programmer's Reference Manual

It also comes with two disks containing the assembler, the linker,
an editor and other utilities.  Unless he has a real fondness for
assembly programming, he should reconsider and check out one of
the many C compilers available.  I have Megamax C and have had no
problems.

Motorola's manual on the 68000 is the best. Kanes, Hawkins, and Leventhal
from Osborne books is also good, but the motorola is better.
Inside Mac or Mac Revealed.
The best source of mac architecture is inside mac.  The paperback
version is $12 at the Duke bookstore, just don't tell the guy you aren't
true blue. :-)  :-)   Also, an account on compuserve is probably a good
idea, as that is where the official MAUG Members Access Users Group(i think)
is located, and supposedly you can e-mail questions to Andy Hertzfield,
and get answers the next day, though i do not have an account on compuserve to
verify this.

	I've found a book on the subject that seems to be good; of course, I
don't know assembler, so I could be mistaken.  It's titled "MacIntosh Assembly
Language Programming".  It seems to be written clearly, and comes with a
complete example of an integer calculator.  The author is Jake Commander.

Good luck all of you who try these suggestions.
