Greetings, Amiga C Wizards everywhere! Having purchased my Aztec C version 3.4a, I find myself wallowing in a C of ignorance. My mind thirsts for knowledge and information- "How do I interact with the operating system?" it asks, "What do these system functions do?" it queries. But alas, I know of few manuscripts available that will satisfy. In a light of inspiration, I have decided to come to you, fellow netters. What books do you, as the hardcore C programmer that you are, consider vital to programming the Amiga? I imagine the AmigaDOS Reference Manual by Bantam Books is one such, and the Intuituon Reference Manual. Others? By the way, be advised that I'm using an Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.2. Are these manuals even available for 1.2 things? For example, does the AmigaDos Ref. Manual contain info about the 1.2 commands like path? Thanks for the help! -mike schwager -- {ihnp4,convex,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!schwager schwager%uiuc@csnet-relay.arpa University of Illinois, Dept. of Computer Science
