This Technote serves as a reference for any Macintosh developer who wants to know what Apple development tools and utilities they have at their disposal. It does not, however, cover the multitude of third-party development tools that are also available. This Technote was written shortly after E.T.O. 22 shipped. All references are accurate as of E.T.O. 22. E.T.O., which includes the MPW development environment, the MacApp application framework, and the OpenDoc Development Framework, is sold only by subscription and updates are automatically sent to subscribers every four months during the subscription year.
New subscribers receive the current issue followed by the next two scheduled updates.
Users of other development environments will find E.T.O. the convenient source for the Macintosh Programmerpis Assistant, performance analysis tools, Pascal to C conversion tools, and the Virtual User testing tool. It is an integrated multiwindow text editor and command executer which supports numerous built-in commands and a powerful scripting language that allows you to customize the environment to suit your needs. The Shell also includes Projector, an integrated source code control system that simplifies the management of large, complex software projects being worked on by a team of programmers. Two assemblers are included, one which supports the full 68xxx instruction set and the other which supports the PowerPC instruction set. MPW Tool and Script Suite Dozens of tools and scripts are included to assist you in the development process.
