Its very easy to tell the difference. All Amiga functions
are capitalized, and none of the Lattice (Circa V3.10) functions are.

I would not put the burden of documenting the OS on the compiler
companies, it would only increase the price of the compiler. Since
CBM comtrolls the OS, has the source, they should provide
the docs on all the OS's functions.

Hi Larry.
	I lost that address you sent me, so I have been unable
	to email you lately.
	Please send it to me again. Thanks.

	By the way, I have been playing around with the
	HyperText thing. A couple more days and I will post
	it.
