Some time ago I repaired the Word version of the documentation, and converted it to PDF. I updated the demo projects to CW Pro 6.3. This is part of the OS 9.3 SDK.

Good that there is several versions.
Old 1.2 version has valuable information to programmers who want make system7 and/or 68k compatible Mac OS9 software or porting older 68k software for Mac OS9.

By the way, Wayback Machine from archive.org has a little-known secret which is the fatc that they support plain HTTP, no SSL or TLS required. You can even wrap some websites with Wayback Machine that way in case you need to bypass TLS problems.

With this, you can take @teroyk's link and HTTP-fy it by removing the extra "s" (http://web.archive.org/web/20041015081906/http://www.mactech.com/macintosh-c/preface.html).

(Wayback Machine is slow, though, so an offline reference can be better.)
