If that's the case, does it provide a way to call Amiga library functions? (I don't use AREXX right now, as if you couldn't guess that, but since BASIC apparently isn't supported under 2.0 I'll need some way to do really quick programs when I don't feel like writing C.) (This probably should've gone in .introduction, but I don't get that group.) -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "You know I never knew Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | that it could be so 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | strange..."
