The file "LibrariesGuide.lha" is on Aminet 5 CD-ROM March 95 in docs/help It is *not* a complete listing of libraries with offsets and registers for passing data to the routines. It is merely an overview explaining the mechanics of how Amiga shared libraries work with code snipits to illustrate. Besides the ROM Krenal Manuals there is also a book called "Mapping the Amiga" by Randy Thompson and Rhett Anderson which covers libraries, structures and pre-AGA hardware registers by Compute! books. I'm not sure if either of these two resources is still available but are worth it if you can find them. Greg Dengler denglerg@crpl.cedar-rapids.lib.ia.us
