I have a few rather naive questions about amiga.lib and libraries in
general.

As some of you may know, I have been writing a few assembly language
programs in my spare time using A68K and Blink with the 1.2 developer's
kit (I'll order 1.3 soon....soon....soon).  According to the RKM's,
amiga.lib has a few extra support functions in it like CreatePort and
DeletePort.  At one point I tried using them by pushing the appropriate
stuff on the stack and using "xref CreatePort; jsr CreatePort".  The
linker (linking with amiga.lib, of course) did not find the function.  Are
they really in there?  Do the names have "_" prepended to them like they
do in Unix (I haven't tried that yet)?  I ended up just reimplementing
what I needed in assembly language, but I would still like to know.

I also have a meta-question.  If I knew the answer to this one, I wouldn't
need to ask the previous one.  Is there an "nm" equivalent for amiga
libraries?  "nm" is a Unix utility that shows (among other things) what
entry points are defined in a library archive (".a") or an object file.
