     I am now thinking about my next tutorial,  and was thinking of doing
one on the IFF Format.   I just got the routines for reading and writing
IFF Formatted files.   I spent the day visiting various Guru's from
Los Gatos including a trip to Clowd 9 to visit the Woz.   One stop was
Electronic Arts to re-assure myself that they were committed to developing
a standard for music and graphics.    I found out that the music format
isn't as developed as I would have liked it to be.   Then after Woz,
I dropped by Amiga in Los Gatos and visited them.   The Amiga folks
well be reviewing my future tutorials for accuracy and code style from
now on.

     I want to do the sound tutorial next,  but feel it appropriate to
do a small tutorial on I/O and multi-tasking before covering the Music
section because knowledge about the I/O is necessary.   I could do the
Music as an example of I/O programs.

     The new ROM Kernal manual soon to be released will have a more
comprehensive section on sound and music.   Two example programs are
included.   I also got a diskette with some new stuff,   but forgot to
ask Amiga folks If I can give it out.   I think they plan on releasing
some more stuff to the nets soon.   

     So,  I guess I will toss it up for discussion,   It would be:

1. IFF tutorial and reading dpaint files.
2. I/O, Multi-tasking, and Sound.

     At this time,  I have enough material to do either of these tutorials.

    I will compile your votes and post the results later.    In the 
meantime,  got lots of reading to do.    Hope you enjoyed the 
Menu/requester/Gadget tutorial,  and any comments and suggestions
would be appreciated.   I will eventually do BOTH,  but thich one
I do FIRST is up to you.
