In a project I'm working on, I'm going to have to write some blitter
routines that handle clipping, and I'd like to make them compatible with
the Amiga's built-in layer structures and routines.  In the 1.1 manuals
there is no real mention about how the Layer and ClipRect structures
work, and only obscure comments in the header files.  (I don't have the
new manuals.)  Is this information in the new manuals?  If not, where
could I get it?

One last question...if I did this, would it be "safe"?  (i.e. would these
routines work with 2.0 and later operating systems?)

Thanks for your help.
