- What do you need documentation for, when you have the source?
- Besides, the idea is to put AmigaOS *on top of* Mach, an operation
- that is likely to be completely invisible to Amiga applications and
- programmers. There will be ways to call Mach from AmigaOS, but this
- doesn't affect software in a negative way. Thus the only people to
- need Mach documentation are those who need to interact directly with
- Mach.
