- The file "LibrariesGuide.lha" is on Aminet 5 CD-ROM March 95 in docs/help
-
- It is *not* a complete listing of libraries with offsets and registers for
- passing data to the routines. It is merely an overview explaining the
- mechanics of how Amiga shared libraries work with code snipits to
- illustrate.
-
- Besides the ROM Krenal Manuals there is also a book called "Mapping the
- Amiga" by Randy Thompson and Rhett Anderson which covers libraries,
- structures and pre-AGA hardware registers by Compute! books. I'm not sure
- if either of these two resources is still available but are worth it if you
- can find them.
