Pascal on the Macintosh: A Graphical Approach by David A. Niguidula and Andries van Dam, Addison-Wesley, 1987, ISBN 0-201-16588-0, Library of Congress 86-20668. The scan is 715 pages.

This book was held under two page titles, the other being Pascal On the Macintosh A Graphical Apprach 1987, which misspells "Approach". That title is now a redirect here. Both were the same edition and the same ISBN; the two scans differ in page count by one (716 against 715) and in size, but not in content, and both are linked below.

What it covers

[edit | edit source]

A first course in Pascal built around graphics, from the Brown University group. Andries van Dam is a co-author of the standard computer-graphics textbook, and the approach shows: the exercises draw rather than print.

This is not a repair source

[edit | edit source]

This is a programming book. It contains no schematics, no parts lists, no component values, no voltages, no connector pinouts and no service procedures, and nothing in it should be cited for a hardware figure. Apple's software documentation and its compiler manuals describe the machine as the programmer sees it, which is not the machine the technician sees.

For hardware data use:

 level: specifications, symptom charts, take-apart and module part numbers
  • Apple's Developer Notes — the one class of Apple developer document that does carry
 rail currents, expansion-slot power budgets and connector pinouts. Several are held here, for
 example Macintosh IIci Developer Note, Macintosh IIsi Developer Note and
 Macintosh LC 475 and Quadra 605 Developer Note.

The second scan

The second scan is Pascal_On_the_Macintosh_A_Graphical_Apprach_1987.pdf (93.8 MB, 716 pages), uploaded under the mis-spelt page title that now redirects here. The file name keeps the misspelling; it has not been renamed, so existing links still work.
