- I've been coding on the Amiga for over 5 years now... The only use I have
- found for the OS libraries is for loading and writing DOS information...
- Hey it's great that they've done all these things to "make our life
- easier". But you know what, it doesn't make our life easier, it makes things
- harder, it slows down our programs, and it is not neccessary...
-
- If you want to code OS friendly routines, and you can do something useful,
- hey, more power to ya... I'm happy for you, and all the best wishes. But for
- me, I want my code as optimized as possible, and I want to fully be able to
- take advantage of MY programmign skills, to produce the fastest routine
- possible... I can't do that with the OS...
-
- You want graphics card support and other things... You know how libraries are
- written I take it... You can do all these things and still bypass the OS
- calls... And you don't have to kludge your code up with useless things...
