Well, it is now time to publicly admit my shame..... I was the person who was to carry on the Amiga User's Compendium. I was mailed the list, and sources to the software. However.....I had a HD crash, and lost the list (along with alot of other stuff). If some kind soul has a copy of the list, and could mail it to me, I will be more than happy to start distributing it. > By the way, was the purpose really to gather information on experts? > If memory serves me, the list was open to contribution by anyone > interested in some Amiga-related topic or topics (e.g., C programming > in the Amiga environment), not just experts. True. The list is open to anyone interested in the amiga. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These words be mine.
