As announced many times, you can get the 1.2 Autodocs on a disk from us by sending $20.00 for the 1.2 Native Developer Update (a 4 disk set) which contains the header files, the new amiga.lib, the autodocs, and the readme files for V1.2. Just ask for the 1.2 Native Developer Update, and send a check for $20 made out to Commodore Business Machines to Lauren Brown Software Department Commodore Business Machines 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 > >Putting out an OS upgrade, mentioning functioning and then pointing to >stuff that 90% of your customers don't have is an effing crock. The >documentation should have been there in the first place. Sounds like we shouldn't have mentioned the new programmer functions in the first place. :-) No, you are right; a more careful editing job would have caught those lines, and we would have inserted instructions on how to get the Native Developer Upgrade. But we didn't, so since then we've announced it a lot (even here). >At the *very* least, putting them in the PD so that Fred Fish can >distribute them, giving copies to all your delears, and a mailing to >all your registered customers explaining what they are and pointing >them to a dealer.

Most users might not need the additional information; The docs are available, at a small cost. (BTW, usenet is the boonies ???) > >
