- I agree that this is a valid situation. However, if one merely wishes to
- write an Amiga program, the 2.04 developer materials will do just fine,
- and if you decide later that you wish to make your software 3.x+ only,
- well, by then we'll either have them or have bailed out...

- I have no earthly idea :-) How exactly does one define "fluff" in
- include files? Documentation? I HOPE SO!!! :-)
-
- I have the 3.x beta includes ... I do not use them for my programming, so
- they're archived to tape. My IMPRESSION is that they're not really THAT
- much bigger than the full 2.x includes and autodocs, but there were a lot
- of changes in the files I did examine.

- ... MAYbe... I'd have to see it before I would draw an opinion out of my
- hat.
