Hi there,

I'm desperately looking for the latest revision of the Be Book for BeOS
Release 4.5 (if I remember correctly, the last was of october 19, 1999).
It was last hosted at
http://www-classic.be.com/documentation/be_book/BeBook.zip

Please notice there's no space between "Be" and "Book" in the zip
archive name. There was a "Be Book.zip" file at the same location but
it's the Be Book for BeOS Release 5.0

Thank you.

It seems I have two copies of the BeOS 4.5 BeBook. This first one was
dated Oct 12, 1999:

http://www.beosdevelopers.org/brunsona/bin/bebook4.5-1.zip

And this one is Nov 28, 1999:

http://www.beosdevelopers.org/brunsona/bin/bebook4.5-2.zip

I don't know if those are the dates I downloaded them or what. That's
probably a good guess.

I agree the 4.5 BeBook was better than later ones. For version 5.0,
they screwed up somehow and left out a lot of important information.
And they broke up the docs for BView into three unhelpful sections that
make it tough to search for things. I use the 4.5 BeBook for reference
by default.
