In article <1859a224.ARN2584@starsoft.UUCP>, david@starsoft.UUCP (Dave Lowrey) says: >> the Amiga ROM KERNEL manual:Libraries & Devices and it seems to be sketchy >> on many things. >To me, the Libs & Devs manual is THE BEST amiga programming manual. >All of the example source code is avaliable on a couple of fish disks. >What "things" are sketchy? While the RKM is a nice (and essential) reference book, it's not designed to teach people how to program the Amiga, which is what the original poster was asking about. The RKM *is* sketchy; it assumes you bring a good deal of knowledge with you to begin with. And I agree that the choice of 'C' for examples is a bad one. (Unless you're a C wizard. Most people aren't). Unfortuntely, there aren't many (any?!) good books about programming the Amiga in general that I know of. (And I mean USEFUL books, not re-writes of the RKM!!!!!). -- Dan Babcock
