The graphics.library, intuition.library, timer.library, and others are
in Kickstart.  They are accessed by the OpenLibrary() exec routine.
The libraries on the Workbench are also libraries in the same sense
as the ones in Kickstart but are deemed less important (or aren't used
as much as the ones mentioned above).  The details of how to use
the libraries can be found in any book that deals with programming
the amiga at the assembly or C level.

The libraries in Manx contain hooks to the Kickstart libraries, and
thus are also needed for C programming.  Most of the graphics and
intuition hooks are contained in c.lib and c32.lib.

more luck! (sorry dale)
