The book came with a disk (described in the introduction), which is not part of the scan. The text and index are numbered to p. 404; the scan has 425 PDF pages.[1]
The book was written as the first Power Macintosh models appeared. It explains the move from the 680x0 to the PowerPC and how to write native and fat applications: the 68K emulator and the Mixed Mode Manager, code fragments, universal procedure pointers, the PowerPC numerics environment, porting, and import libraries. Chapter 1 has short sections on software and hardware compatibility between the 68K and Power Macintosh lines.[1]
