 A huge thank you to Nigel Williams who forwarded a working copy of .951 five
 minutes before Bill and Andy arrived. We spent an hour talking about MacPaint
 and Quickdraw (Apple has finally given CHM approval to make the sources available)
 then another hour on Alice, Dali Clock, Servant, Hypercard, and Magic Cap. 
Could you please clarify, the QuickDraw source is available for what purpose? Could
developers modify it any include it in heir commercial 64 bit Intel applications for
instance?

Is the source Pascal, Assembler, C or something else?
