2nd paragraph |
Note page 141, paragraph 7: "(Examples of Carbonized programs include ... the Finder itself). Now note the description here: "But in many Cocoa programs - including the Finder...). So is Finder a Cocoa program or a Carbon program? While we're at it why keep writing "the Finder"? We don't say "the Safari", "the Expose", etc. Did you go to "the" Ohio State University or something? Or maybe you're from The Hague?

Figure 4-17 |
Figure 4-17 is unreferenced. Likely it was intended to be referenced on page 145, paragraph 2, instead of "5-19".
Note from the Author or Editor:
It's actually referenced at the top of page 147. Maybe it was fixed in an earlier reprint. |

Figure 4-16 |
This Figure seems lost as it is not referenced in the text. Perhaps on page 144 there was an unfulfilled intention to reference it under 'Summarize'.
