Hi...
 
I'm new to the net and relatively new to C on the amiga, (having spent
most of my time hacking Symbolics lisp), and have a quick related
question.  I'm using Manx 3.6, and have an incomplete set of the RKMs,
and was recently wondering about the RangeRand function.  The RKMs
mention amiga.lib, as it is mentioned above in connection with Lattice.
Does this library exist as a part of the Manx libraries included with
3.6, as a part of the 1.3 libraries, or what?  I haven't found anything
too clear on this in the manuals that I have, so if a good source
describing libraries, etc., exists, a recommendation would be in order.
 
BTW, please let me know if I've screwed up at all in subject matter or
form of submission . . . only so much you can learn by observing w/o
getting involved yourself.
