   Inside Macintosh is indespensible for any serious programing on the
Macintosh.  It covers "all" of the calls provided by the roms, and the
system file, and has several interesting things to say about the do's and
don't of programming the Macintosh.
	Vol 1-3   Covers the basics of All Macintosh computers 64K Rom's
	Vol 4     Covers the extension's to the Macintosh Plus 128K Rom's
	Vol 5	  Covers the extension's made to the Macintosh II & SE.

   As far a a good book on programming the Macintosh in C, I've seen some, but
haven't had the chance to review any of them.  But buy Inside Macintosh if you
want to program the Macintosh.

   Macintosh Programmer's WorkShop {MPW}.
