- Short: Collection of Amiga- and C-related News
- Author: [distilled by] Jorgen Grahn
- Uploader: ex-grahn@mdstud.chalmers.se
- Type: docs/misc
-
- This is a selection of News I've dumped in the period between
- January 1993 and November, 1994. The selection is very subjective;
- I only saved things that interested me or were new for me.
-
- Also, I can't guarantee the correctness in any of this. Much of the postings
- are of the kind where one guy asks a question, another answers and everybody
- else shouts: WRONG! Do like this instead...
-
- amiga.applications
- Information on useage and 'hidden features' of
- well-known Amiga applications. Practically empty.
- amiga.arexx
- Programming in Rexx on the Amiga, hints and help.
- amiga.compilers
- Not-too-often seen information on how to use
- programming packages, mostly the SAS/C compiler and
- DICE. Much on startup code and things like that.
- A few useful hints on using SAS' debugger better.
- amiga.hardware
- Information concerning the hardware; problems with
- hard disks; why floppies click, ...
- amiga.humor
- Satire and involuntary comedy connected with the Amiga.
- amiga.programming
- More or less accurate answers to questions on programming.
- Discussion on shareable library bases, much BOOPSI talk,
- some example source.
- amiga.system
- Things to do with the system software. Hardlinks vs.
- softlinks, how to isolate system software from 3rd party
- software, undocumented features, how to get true UNIX pipes
- in the Shell...
- amiga.trivia
- Stories from the history of the Amiga, hidden ROM messages,
- inside stories...
- general.humor
- Witty or bizarre non-Amiga related postings
- general.programming
- Articles mostly on algorithms and C programming style.
-
- I hope I've not offended anyone by releasing their articles in this
- somewhat more stable form. I'm following the general rule that
- things released as Usenet news is redistributable unless otherwise
- noticed. I've encountered one case where text actually wasn't
- 'freeware', and I deleted it (a programming tutorial by Udo "Kingfisher").
