If you're like me you have the THINK C reference database up in an emulator to read while your real machine is rebooting from some memory error. This is fine but it's font is tiny, search could be better, and you need an emulator running the entire time.

Enter THINK Reference Database on the web!

Temp URL: http://129.158.56.21/thinkc/

This converts all the THINK-C Databases on the MacTech 1-17 ISO to HTML. The database format is so strange - lots of compressed tokens, versions of formats, etc etc, and I couldn't have done it without the work of Thomas Jacksons project think-de-reverent.

A reference page and search:

Please reply here if you find any formatting errors with link and description of the error.

I've put a few easter eggs in the project, let me know if you find them!

This is really awesome. I was mostly CTRL-Fing the Inside Macintosh PDFs or some Apple tech notes but this is searchable and flat text. Very helpful

That's a great resource, thanks. It'll be good to have open on the macbook while I code and wait for endless reboots :)
