Well, I haven't heard of any complete AmigaDOS reference guide outside the RKM
series, but here are two things I spotted in the latest AmigaWorld.  I have not
purchased them and cannot praise or criticize them in any way.

Ad copy follows:

Guru's Guide
Meditation #1 -- Interrupts
Meant for serious (or aspiring) Amiga programmers only: specific details of the
Amiga Exec interrupt system.  More than 60 pages covering the design
philosophy, general priniciples, rules for use, issues to consider, common
problems, plus many working examples.  Includes details of general interrupts,
software interrupts, functions, priorities, decoding, dispatching, disabling,
and sharing.  Two week, money-back guarantee if not satisfied.

Written by *Carl Sassenrath*, principal designer of the Amiga Multitasking
Executive (Exec) and author of the _Amiga ROM Kernel Manual: Exec._

To Order send $14.95 check or money order to:

        Guru's Guide #1

I/O.
