Just want to clarify that this version, SpInside Macintosh, was done by a
team of people from DTS with cooperation from Developer Technical Pubs, not
tech-docs group.  From this basis, the Developer Technical Publications
group is working on a much improved version which should see the light of
day later this year.  New features include references to the MPW interface
files, a cleaner interface, and some large speed gains.  Until that time,
SpInside Macintosh 1.0 and maybe some minor revisions are available.

If you are not a Partner or Associate, you will soon be able to get
SpInside Macintosh and a few other goodies in a manner and for a price
(neither of which can be discussed at this time) I am sure you will
find worth the wait.  Until that time, please trust that we are doing
everything possible to put this out as fast as we can and the most
efficient way possible for your budget.
