Pascal on the Macintosh A Graphical Approach 1987

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

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

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:

• Apple Service Source — Apple's own service manuals, module

 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.

• Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets and The Dead Mac Scrolls — component-level, for

 the compact Macs

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.
