Wolfe) Organization: MIT Lines: 122 Xref: boulder comp.sys.mac:37016 comp.graphics:6658 A guy here at the MIT AI lab got a disk in the mail with no return address. It contained a README file (included here), the TeachText application, and a Stuffit archive containing some source code. The listing of the filenames in the archive are included after the text of the read-me file. Makes for very interesting reading. =============== 5/22/89 The file called "Rom Src (Stuffit)" contains the complete assembly language source to both Color QuickDraw and all the hardware Equate files for the various Macintoshes ROMs. The files have been twice-encrypted using Stuffit 1.5.1. The password is "source". The next mailing will consist of the complete source to the hierarchical filing system and all the device drivers. Over several weeks, we will distribute the entire source to the Macintosh ROM as well as the source to System software 6.0.3, Finder 6.1, and AppleTalk 2.0. System 7.0 will be distributed as soon as we secure a copy of it. Our objective at Apple is to distribute everything that prevents other manufacturers from creating legal copies of the Macintosh. As an organization, the nuPrometheus League has no ambition beyond seeing the genius of a few Apple employees benefit the entire world, not just dissipated by Apple Corporate through litigation and ill-will. Anyone interested in directly receiving our next mailing should place a classified ad sometime during the month of July in the Bay Area Computer Currents or MacWeek with the word "nuPrometheus" along with their address. At that time you may make specific requests for sources that you have interest in obtaining. /signed/ The nuPrometheus League (Software Artists for Information Dissemination) =============== The following files were in the Stuffit archive: ANGLES.a Arcs.a bitblt.a BITMAPS.a ccrsrcore.a colmgr.a colorasm.a cqd.a drawarc.a DRAWLINE.a drawtext.a gdevice.a GRAFASM.a LCURSOR.a LINES.a OVALS.a PACKRGN.a patterns.a pictures.a POLYGONS.a PUTLINE.a PUTOVAL.a PUTRGN.a qd.a RECTS.a REGIONS.a RGNBLT.a RGNOP.A RRECTS.a seekMask.a SEEKRGN.a SORTPOINTS.a STRETCH.a text.a UTIL.a xcqd.a Above CQD / Below Hardware: bootequ.a colorequ.a DeclROMqu.a disptable.a fasttraps.a inc.sum.a undvideoequ.a nAtalkequ.a nEqu.a nFastTraps.a nFSPrivate.a nHardwareEqu.a nPrEqu.a nPrivate.a nQuickEqu.a nSCSIEqu.a nSMgrEqu.a nSonyEqu.a nSysEqu.a nSysErr.a nTEMacs.a nTimeEqu.a ntoolequ.a nTraps.a qdHooks.a SlotIntEqu.a SlotMgrMacs.a StartMacs.a xFixMath.a xHardwareEqu.a xPrivate.a xSonyEqu.a xSysEqu.a xTimeEqu.a ====================================================================== John Wolfe Disclaimer: I don't know what's going on, wolfe@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu I just live here! 545 Technology Square, Room 414 Cambridge, MA 02139 ====================================================================== ======================================================================== Richard Fozzard "Serendipity empowers" University of Colorado fozzard@boulder.colorado.edu (303)492-8136 or 444-3168
