As a solution, MacMan and DAMacMan were developed as a tool for the Macintosh programmer, not the casual user. The Project : Two database systems were written, tested, and made fully operational on Mac Plus, or Mac XL! MacMan : A desktop application that retrieves Inside Macintosh information by procedure/function name or alternatively, according to toolbox manager category. Provides Multiple resizable windows, scrolling, Text wraparound, copy/paste between database and clipboard. DAMacMan : Restricted form of MacMan that does what the desktop version of MacMan does, but runs as a desk accessory. It does not support Multiple windows, but Can be used from within any application, concurrently, such as an editor. This package is a user support software, if interested in getting a copy send us a blank disk and a stamped self-addressed envelope. Abdullah Al-Dhelaan Ted. G. Lewis Computer Science Dept.
