This is all the actuall source code info, and such. It goes into wrtiting all the stuff(Interface Builder, Clock, Disk Builder, etc.) from scratch. This is what I wish to get for purposes of figuring out how hard this will be to implement. I believe the documents for $250 is just the book that next mails to you, when they shipped the machine, plus some other manuals, such as the guide to using the IB. Actually I think its the prined versions of the NeXT Manual pages, or just some other stuff. By the way, has anyone had trouble with their hard drvies. The second machine I got, the Server one, w/660 HD, & 16MB, had a bum drive, and I had to replace it. NeXT was cool about it, they even let me do it, by just sending me the drive, but alas, my boss wouldn't let me touch it, because he thought it might invalidate the warranty (if their is one).

Date: Sun 04-Feb-1989 21:16:05 From: Unknown Subject: Documentation There has been some confusion on the Technical Documentation available from NeXT. I will try to clear up this issue. We had originally priced the technical documentation at $395.00. This was to include three sets of documentation: 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0. By going with a less expensive printing method we discovered we could reduce the cost of the set (to $250.00 + ap- plicable tax). Anyone purchasing the 0.8 set will automatically get the 0.9 and 1.0 updates as they are completed. purchasers of the 0.9 set (which will be also be $250.00) also get the 1.0 update. Our goal was not to penalize the early purchasers for buying informa- tion that we knew would be quickly updated. Those having purchased the 0.8 Tech. Doc. at the $395.00 price are receiving refund checks with their shipped copies. The current 0.8 Tech. Doc. is about 3000 pages of programming in- formation contained in two binders. If you have further questions about the Tech. Doc. you may call our tella-business group at: 415.424.8500 (Monday-Friday, 8:00am.- 5:00pm. PST.)
