Guide To Programming the Mac OS in C
« on: June 16, 2019, 07:03:47 AM »

Mactech nicely remember older C programming document for Mac OS 9 and OSX PPC:
MACINTOSH C CARBON: A Hobbyist's Guide To Programming the Mac OS in C
http://preserve.mactech.com/macintosh-c/online.html
but it is missing pictures, so here is complete(?) online version:
https://web.archive.org/web/20041015081906/http://www.mactech.com/macintosh-c/preface.html
there was also at ftp pdf version and demostration programs at:
ftp://ftp.mactech.com/macintosh-c/
That server sometimes answer to ping, but I didn't get connected, has anybody those files from ftp?

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".

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