At one time, there were 3 separate manuals.
1. The AmigaDOS User's Manual
1.1 Introducing AmigaDOS
1.2 AmigaDOS Commands
1.3 ED -- The Screen Editor
1.4 EDIT -- The Line Editor
1.5 Error Codes and Messages
2. The AmigaDOS Developer's Manual
2.1 Programming on the Amiga
2.2 Calling AmigaDOS
2.3 The Macro Assembler
2.4 The Linker
2.5 Console Input and Output
3. The AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual
3.1 The Filing System
3.2 Amiga Binary File Structure
3.3 AmigaDOS Data Structures
3.4 Additional Information for the Advanced Developer
Section 3.2 describes the object file structure and hunk types.
For release 1.2, all three manuals were combined. The combination is:
The AmigaDOS Manual, 2nd Edition
(The Bantam Amiga Library)
ISBN 0-553-34440-0
It says: "Ask your bookseller for the books you have missed or order
direct from Bantam by calling 800-223-6834 ext 479. (In New York,
please call 212-765-6500 ext 479.)"
