- It all depends on what you're doing, of course, but if you're looking for
- asynch I/O, there's an archive out there that (I _think_) was released by
- CATS for developers. If AmiNet doesn't have it, I have it on my BBS and
- could UL it to AmiNet if the liscense in the archive allows (not sure on
- that). Do a search for keyword ASYNCIO in the archives.
-
- Contains full source for things like OpenAsynch, ReadAsynch, WriteAsynch,
- CloseAsynch, etc. (don't take those function names too literally, I am
- working from memory here!)
