There are quite a few errors (in the examples and elsewhere).

I've been focusing on the MathPaper project and have found a couple of inconsistencies between the book and my experience:

In the section "Changing the Names of MathPaper Project Files" a step is missing. The NSDocumentClass property must be changed to "MathDocument". To change it I went to Target (MathPaper) -> Application Settings (Expert) -> CFBundleDocumentTypes -> 0 -> NSDocumentClass.

Another difference is on page 330, in step 9 of "Creating PaperController, a Subclass of NSWindowController". It says "Type Command-5 and change the Custom Class of the File's Owner to PaperController...". Doing this the Info window shows "Not Applicable" with no option of changing the "File's Owner" to PaperController. My guess is that it should be Command-1 which shows the Attributes and does allow PaperController to be selected.

I have not succeeded in running the project though, I get the error:

2002-05-25 08:32:03.172 MathPaper[403] *** -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value

I'm looking for what is not being initialized. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Jose
