Is this stuff in the Mac manuals?? I looked through a couple and
found lots of baby food and blank page area space, but no tech data!!

I paged all the way thru a couple of manuals, early MacDraw and another,
without finding out how to write the postscript and get the required
header file. I wouldn't have had to page thru if it had been in the
contents or the index, but it wasn't, and I couldn't believe it wasn't in
the manual. But then these were the first Mac manuals I went thru.
And the last.

The rest of who?
