I don't understand. The RKMs are decent tutorials, as far as such things go. They are certainly better than the equivalent documents for other computers. The only problems with the RKMs are first, they don't include any DOS info, thanks to Commodore's unfortunate agreement with Bantam, and second that they forgot about the horrible things nroff does to C source code. They certainly do explain message passing, memory management, and how the windowing system works. What more do you expect from the primary docs? There's a sad lack of the equivalent of Peter Norton's book on the PC, but that's certainly not Commodore's job. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
