Hi,

I purchased an new on-demand printed copy of "The Complete Guide to the NEXTSTEP User Environment" by Michael B. Shebanek.

Sadly it came without the diskette. Where can I get it?

TIA

I have a copy of that, I believe with the disk.  I'll try to image it when I get a chance next week.  Do you know if it's a 2.88mb disk?

That would be very kind. On the back of the book it says it is a 1.4 MB diskette.

So here is a link to the dd image.  Disclaimer: there were some bad sectors on the floppy. If this should refuse to work, I can try with a Kyroflux..

Thank you. In the meantime I learned that a floppy image should be downloadable from an official Springer website. So far it is not.

Thanks again, bobo68

Hi pl212,

I tried you dd image. It works apart from the "Drum Sounds" directory (in "Sounds") which seems to corrupted. The Workspace Manager chocked while copying it (in fact it logged out - ouch). The shell says ". not found" if I try to list the contents of the directory.

I'd like to try again: is somebody able to provide a fully working image of the diskette?

I recently acquired a ton of NeXT literature. I'll look and see if I have the book and disk.
