Hmmm....and now the Bantam book is out of print, unavailable, ex-directory,
off-the-shelves and out to lunch. Isn't it time that someone at CBM addressed
this problem instead of making glib references to it? There are people out
here, there and everywhere who have spent hundred of dollars/pounds not only on 
their Amigas, but also nearly 100 pounds on the Hardware ref. man., Libs and
Devs and Includes/Autodocs, only to find that the information is far from
complete. Actually, now that I fell off my soap-box in all my excitement, 
does *anyone* out there know if Bantam intend to publish a shiny, moist, pink
and fluffy new edition of the AmigaDOS reference (updated for 2.0?)? Now 
*that* would be nice, maybe even (almost) worth the wait...
