I have just read you Issue 2 of the ARTech and I can just say: FINE!

Although there are not much articles (The copyright notice looks bigger than the articles 8)), its very interesting. Where can I get the "pointerdefs.h" ?? 8))

It could be interesting if you could include a reference guide for Amiga-Programmers. I always had the problem to get examples sources and documentations for special hardware and software.

Examples:

• Where can I get sources of an example implementation of a Halftone-Dithering? Who comes to the idea, looking at the Sourcecode of "SpecialHost for AmigaTeX" which includes nearly all dither-routines?
• How to get a documentation for SCSI programming? Did you really know that under "http://www.abekrd.co.uk/SCSI2/" you find a complete reference?
• Where to get a documentation for a scanner?
• Where can I find good examples of programming Msg-Ports? Whats the filename in this archive?
• Where to get documenation for a XXX-algorithm and where can I find example sources?

There are many other questions. A list which could be completed every issue would be nice.

An article how to make good AmigaGuide dcumentations and online helps and when to use them, would also be nice, i hate bad docs!

Good suggestions. Would someone like to volunteer to maintain a such a reference?

I have read both the issues of ARTech and found it to be interesting. Can you please make the articles a bit long and self-contained instead of splitting them in parts?

Congrats for the good work.

From now on, back issues will be updated to contain links to the continuation articles. This will of course only work on the official AR Tech Journal WWW sites.

Hello,
This is very strange. When I click on the Issue 1,April 07, 1995 archive HTML, instead of trying to download the file I get what looks like binary information on the screen. I'm using netscape but for some reason it's reading it as ascii instead of knowing to download it. I've never experienced this at any other site. Perhaps it's not correctly archived?

This is an unfortunate problem in WWW servers and browsers that do not recognise an LhA archive as binary data. The easiest remedy is to turn on loading to local disk before following the archive link. This is the "load to local disk" option in Mosaic, and the "d)ownload" command in Lynx. In Netscape, click on the link while holding down the shift key.

Hello all,
Thanx for putting together a good Amiga programming source of info. I only have a few suggestions.

• What about a series of 'Beginning to program on the Amiga' articles? Using different languages (not just C).
• Comparison of different programming languages? Amiga-E, LISP, ARexx, etc...
• Hardware section? How to put in that extra floppy. How to autoconfig that memory.

Keep up the good work! :)

I hope you like the Amiga E course starting in this issue. Any hardware experts out there interested in writing some articles?
