The best (and only) book I have seen about DOS is Rob Peck's Programmer's Guide to the Amiga published by Sybex. It has a very good chapter on AmigaDOS with working examples. I couldn't find enough information in the AmigaDOS manual or anywhere else to do some of the stuff he documented even after I knew how. There are also chapters on Exec, Graphics, Intuition, Devices (ASIDE: not how to write one though. We could use a book on that) ,Animation, Sound and Multitasking. It's a very nicely written book, much easier to follow than much of the 'Official' stuff. Every programmer should have one. <<<Doug>>> -- Doug Lee douglee@becker 416-461-5357
