Before flaming at the fact that you have to spend $75 for 3 manuals dealing
with the Amiga.  First think of what you're getting?  The developer's
manuals that your friends bought was probably for version 1.0 or earlier
(most of the 'C' source examples didn't work! And the documentation was
HORRIBLE.. well.. not that bad.  But I've seen better).  The Addison
Wesley manuals have been cleaned up considerably!

If you were a developer you would have been greeted by the new 1.1 RKM's
... not one but TWO volumes large!  So if you were to buy these manuals
from your local dealer you'd be spending about $50 or so since the two
RKM's are each the size of the original single volume.  The extra $25 your
spending is for distribution, revisions, and tons of little modifications..
I'd say you're not doing to badly.

Now.. for the small fee of $450 you could buy yourself a developer's pkg
and stop fussing.

I disclaim everything... including my existance.

P.S. Sorry to bore you folks on the net...  Ah, question.  Is anyone having
trouble with terminal emulation under 1.2?
