I am indeed aware of your book, though I have not ever actually seen it. I have heard praise from many concerning it, however. I have a different Sybex book, "Amiga Programmer's Handbook" by Eugene P. Mortimore. I haven't used it much yet, but it does loot to supplement the RKM's nicely... It fills some gaps. I'm not too worried about the C: commands and the AmigaDOS User's Manual... I'm far more interested in the programming aspect. I'll probably get your book when I have the chance... >(often "experienced" users cease reading or browsing Amiga World, so >they might not become aware of certain things only advertised therein). >Wanted to let you know about other possible sources of info. Mmm. Thanks. I haven't read AmigaWorld much recently more because of lack of money to even buy magazines or ready transportation to bookstores where I can get away with hanging around reading their magazines without buying them... :-) One of these days...
