Welcome to the WWDC '96 release of Inside Macintosh for Mac OS 8. This Read Me provides a road map to the chapters within this folder, provides information on viewing the Acrobat files contained within this folder, and lists the methods you can use to give us your feedback on the Inside Macintosh documentation. Road Map To Inside Macintosh For Mac OS 8 Documentation The chapters in the folder Inside Macintosh for Mac OS 8 provide preliminary information on many of the constants, data types, and functions for developer use in Mac OS 8. The chapters present overviews or introductions that cover the human interface, Apple events, file navigation and access, text handling, the microkernel, and I/O. In addition, reference chapters for many managers and services are also provided. Each file in the folder represents a book. Figure 1 shows the book titles and the chapters contained within each book. Figure 1. Books and chapters in the folder Inside Macintosh for Mac OS 8 Road Map For Applications For information on the features of Mac OS 8 for applications, read the following chapters and books: • For an overview of new features supported by the Toolbox, such as human interface objects, panels, window groups, imaging objects, and themes, see the chapter "Introduction to the Mac OS 8 Toolbox" in Human Interface Toolbox. For reference information on human interface objects, see the chapter "HIObject Class Reference" in Human Interface Toolbox. • For an overview of how Apple events are used pervasively throughout Mac OS 8 by system services as well as other programs, see the chapters "Introduction to the Mac OS 8 Event Model" and "Event Model Reference" in Apple Events in Mac OS 8. For information on how Apple events are processed by the Toolbox, see "Toolbox Event Routing" and "Toolbox Events Reference" in Human Interface Toolbox. • For an overview of the Mac OS 8 microkernel, including information on tasks, processes, scheduling, preemption, multithreading, allocation of memory, and other services, see the chapter "About Mac OS 8" in Microkernel and Core System Services. See subsequent chapters in Microkernel and Core System Services for reference information on many of these topics. • For information on the Mac OS 8 File Manager, Navigation Services, and other file services, as well as reference information on the Mac OS 8 File Manager, see File Navigation and Access. • For information on the extensive support for text handling that enables you to develop your application for a worldwide market, such as support for Unicode, locales, and the use of text objects, see "Introduction to Text Handling and Internationalization" in Text Handling and Internationalization. • For information on creating resources that are new in Mac OS 8, see ResEdit 3.0 User's Guide. • For information related to human interface elements in an application, see Human Interface Guidelines for Mac OS 8 and Apple Grayscale Specification for System 7.5. • For information on the use…

How to Install Mac OS 8 (D11E4): Last revision 6/13/96 Please read these instructions carefully before installing Mac OS 8. Warning: This is a Pre-Release operating system. BACK UP all information on all drives connected to a machine on which you plan to run Mac OS 8. You may experience disk corruption and data loss on this release. You currently need two machines to boot Mac OS 8: one is a machine from the "Hardware Supported" list below, the other is a machine capable of running the Power Macintosh Debugger. The two machines must be connected via a serial cable. See "Debugger Instructions" below. Note: Before installation, place a text file called "No Mac OS 8 Mount" on any drives that you don't want to have mounted while in Mac OS 8. Late-Breaking News: ------------------DO NOT click the "Setup" button when creating a destkop printer. Here are the steps to create a desktop printer in D11E4: 0) Before installing, remove any existing desktop printers 1) Click on the LaserWriter GX icon ==>You'll see a few benign asserts 2) Click on the printer of your choice 3) Click the "Create" button 4) When the "Setup" dialog comes up, hit CANCEL (this is the most important step). 5) You'll have to reboot for a desktop printer to show up correctly 6) Go print! See the Printing release notes for more information. Installation Instructions: -------------------------1) Initialize a 250MB or larger drive using Drive Setup (see "Drive Setup Instructions" below), or another utility. We'll call this freshly initialized drive the "Mac OS 8 volume" 2) Install (do not copy) a fresh System 7.5.x onto the Mac OS 8 volume 3) Run the Mac OS 8 Installer script "Install Mac OS"; install onto the Mac OS 8 volume 4) Set your startup disk to be the Mac OS 8 volume 5) Put down the Caps Lock key 6) Restart ==> You should boot into Mac OS 8 Drive Setup Instructions: ------------------------You should be able to install Mac OS 8 on a drive initialized by any software. We recommend using Drive Setup 2.0d5c2 which is incluced with the D11E4 build. 1) In the Drive Setup window, select your Mac OS 8 volume. 2) Click Initialize. You get the Initialize dialog: "Initializing will destoy all data...". 3) Click Custom Setup...in the Initialize dialog. 4) Select a Partitioning Scheme of 1 Macintosh HFS. 5) Click OK to go back to the Initialize dialog. In the lower status field, it should say: "New Partitioning: 1 Macintosh HFS Initialization Options: none" 6) Click Initialize. Debugger Instructions: ---------------------To run Mac OS 8, you will need a debugging machine. This can be any Macintosh capable of running the Power Mac debugger connected to the Mac OS 8 machine via a serial cable. It does not have to be a PowerPC machine, any Macintosh with 7MB free RAM (Virtual Memory is OK) is sufficient. There is currently no reliable way to run Mac OS 8 without the debugger at this time; however, you should be able to boot to Finder in most cases without a debugging machine connected. Th…
