- Hi Martin,
-
- I bought the Libraries and Includes/Autodocs RKM's recently and the Libraries
- manual is very good, from what I've read the manual is v.well written and
- goes into a lot of detail about all aspects of programming the amiga. It does
- assume a knowledge of 'C' or assembler programming, esp 'C' (which the amiga
- O.S is largely written in).
-
- Also the libraries manual has a large number of pieces of example code which
- is available on fish disks #741 and #742 (most examples are in 'C'). The
- Includes / Autodocs RKM is really little more than a indexed listing of the
- include files. It would be useful to a serious programmer as you can look in
- their instead of hunting around on the machine.
-
- I do not know what the hardware manual is like, judging by the Libraries
- manual it should be comprehensive. However the release 3 of the libraries
- manual is based around OS 2.x which is o.k but whether a hardware manual
- would be up to date with AGA is debatable.
-
- Finally these manuals are not cheap #38.99 each. I got mine from Hisoft
- U.K on 0525 718181. They seemed able to answer some technical queries I
- gave them, so ring them about the hardware manual.
-
- I hope some of this helps
-
- -Andy.
