Example 4.3 (hasher.hasher)

One line reads:

Redim itsArray(size)

When it should read:

itsArray.myRedim(size)

also, line 5 of the example -
self.itsarray(i) = new myCArray(-1)
should be:
self.itsArray(i) = new myCArray(-1)

3rd paragraph, starting "If the text to be converted..."

The description of breaking strings into substrings of 512 characters will not always
yield the correct result for some double-byte languages.

Some languages, such as Japanese, contain a mix of single-byte and double-byte
characters, and thus breaking a string into 512-byte substrings will eventually result
in a 2-byte character being split in half, and the subsequent conversion will not work.
Plus, the next 512-byte substring will convert erroneously until the characters resync
themselves (because Japanese has some characters where the 2nd byte is also a valid
1st byte in the sjis encoding).

First text paragraph (after code)

The text reads "When the user chooses the Preferences menu item. your Application's
subclass's HandleMenuItems event can respond"

It should read "HandleAppleEvents event" as there is no such thing as
"HandleMenuItems"
