It's called CATS, and they have been doing the best job of any computer. I know
people who program for the Amiga  AS WELL AS Mac and IBM, and they say that they
get the best support from Commodore.  I myself am biased, as I do most of my
stuff on the Amiga, so don't have much to compare to.

Become a registered developer.  It's quite cheap, and is definetely worth the
small amount of money it costs.  There are quite a few mailings of Documentation
(AmigaMail and others) as well as the periodic Disks that are sent out (Just last
month a few disks (RKRM libs and Devs Companion disks) were sent out. 

P.S. I am signed up with Commodore Canada.  Ulthough I have managed to accedentaly
give the wrong impression, I am quite happy with the support that I've received 
from the Canadian side of CATS (Thanks Alex and Paula !)

P.P.S.  It was asked recently what the address for Commodore Canada was. If you
are in Canada and wish to join the Registered developer program, send to:
