Hello.  I am in desperate need of some C sources that I can use as examples
to aid in my learning C on the Amy.  I already know C , but this operating
system is different than what I am used to.  I have a few books, but they
either don't have examples or are FAR too simple and have no real applications.
I would like to find some examples on gadgets, menus, m/tasking, dos operations
, ect. ect.
  Also, here in Regina, we can't get Robert Peck's  PROGRAMMERS GUIDE TO THE
AMIGA (Sybex).  This is totally frustrating.  I hear it is a good book.  If
anyone out there wants to part with a used copy, or knows how I can actually
get it PLEASE forward something to me at MCARTSHA@UREGINA1.

  I have RKM includes & Autodocs, Amiga Programmer's Handbook, and Inside
the Amiga with C and have found all of them to be either way too simple and
not informative, or way too informative and no examples of how things
operate together.   IE:  none of them show me how to non-busy wait for
a number of different signals.  I would like to know how to accept input
from a string gadget at the strike of a return key.

  i am totally frustrated at the lack of docs for this computer, but I hear
that Peck's book is what I really need.

Again, I am just waiting to learn, but am short on some good examples.
