APPRENTICE: CD-ROM OF OVER 450 MEGABYTES OF MAC SOURCE CODE AND UTILITIES
FOR ONLY $35

Port Townsend, Washington -- May 26, 1994 -- Celestin Company releases
Apprentice, an attractively priced CD-ROM compilation of Mac source code
and utilities. Many Macintosh programmers have been frustrated by the lack
of an inexpensive collection of sample source code. The few collections
that are available are not only out of the price range of many people, but
contain outdated examples that may no longer demonstrate effective
programming techniques. Apprentice contains over 450 megabytes of
up-to-date source code, as well as quality programming utilities to assist
novice as well as experienced developers.

In order to compile such an exhaustive collection of quality source code,
Celestin Company contacted over 200 Macintosh developers and received
their permission to include some of the best programming examples
available. Users will find complete working examples of applications,
games, control panels, extensions, utilities, and much more. Most of the
source code is in C, C++, and Pascal.

PROGRAMMING THE EASY WAY

Those new to Mac programming, will find the included "shell" programs very
useful. These are complete application frameworks that take care of many
of the tedious tasks associated with Mac programming, including menus,
standard dialogs, file handling, and the like. A complete Mac application
can be built in no time, by simply providing the code to perform specific
activities. All other aspects of the Macintosh environment are handled by
the shell utilities.

Apprentice contains dozens of libraries, routines designed around a
specific task, from graphics and sounds to menu management and serial
communications. Many of these libraries include complete source code. Also
included are hundreds of code "snippets", small routines that perform
specific programming tasks. From displaying a color icon or resolving a
file name alias, developers will find what they are looking for in this
definitive collection.

GOOD NEWS FOR MPW USERS

MPW users will find dozens of new and interesting tools, languages, and
utilities, many with complete source code. And developers looking to learn
a new language, or just dabble, will find more than 20 complete standalone
programming environments. Ada, C, Forth, Lisp, Modula-2, Oberon, and
Prolog are only a few of the languages included. Most come with complete
documentation and programming examples, and some include complete source
code to the language itself.

INFORMATION, INFORMATION, INFORMATION

The information hungry will find technical specifications, language
guidelines, programming hints, as well as a complete collection of the
comp.sys.mac.programmer digest, a compendium of information from one of
the best Mac programmer discussion groups on the electronic networks. Also
included are demonstration versions of commercial programmer utilities,
including installers, code and resource editors, database libraries, and
much more.

Everything on the disc is indexed using several different utilities, so
users will find what they are looking for quickly and easily.

Apprentice is $35, which includes standard shipping within the United
States and Canada. Sales tax is also included for orders within the state
