Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years. -

Chapter 3: System Software
75 System 3 Software When you first buy a computer, it’s the hardware that gets all the attention. But what really makes the Mac what it is—an easy-to-use and highly customizable personal computer—is the system software. The system software creates the desktop, lets you organize your files in folders, and gives you capabilities—such as cutting and pasting text and graphics—that work in virtually any Mac program. In this chapter, we describe the basic components of the Mac system soft- ware. You’ll also find advice on system software installation and modification. 76 Chapter 3: System Software Contributors Contents Sharon Zardetto The Operating System.....................................................77 Aker (SZA) is the chapter editor.

Enablers, Installers, and Apple Extras
Chapter 5 Enablers, Installers, and Apple Extras IN THIS CHAPTER: I The other crud in your System Folder: Enablers, System Updates, and more I Details on the automatic System Folder subfolders I A few words about the System file I Apple Extras I The Installer nobody knows That handful of control panels, extensions, and DAs described in the preced- ing two chapters doesn’t completely explain why a System 7.5 System Folder can consume 30MB of your hard drive — 80MB or more if you have, for example, a Language Kit or most of System 7.6’s goodies installed. Your Mac comes with a lot of other fascinating software, too — and the flood doesn’t stop: Every few months, Apple releases some Updater or other, which you’re supposed to know about, get, and install. Your Mac even comes with some software the Installer doesn’t install; those additional programs get left behind on the original System software disks, or dumped into an unex- plained folder on your hard drive called Apple Extras. All of it is worth know- ing about. 181 182 Part I: System Software Revealed THE SYSTEM FOLDER FOLDERS System 7 greatly reduced the cluttered, no-nested-folders setup of System 6. System 7 introduced a set of standard folders within the System Folder (see Figure 5-1): one each for Extensions (INITs), Control Panels, Preferences, Fonts (in System 7.1 and later), Apple Menu Items, PrintMonitor Documents, Startup Items, Shutdown Items (System 7.5), and Launcher Items (System 7.5). Depending on your model and System version, you may also have folders that collect things such as Speakable Items and Control Strip Modules. -
