- Currently, AmigaGuide is only available with an addition to the normal
- Commercial Workbench license.

-
- It depends on whether you *need* C++ right now or now (and whether you
- have enough memory, etc. to handle G++!). The SAS/C++ won't be ready
- for quite a while yet...

-
- It will only work with libraries you declare but don't define. If you
- just put an
-
- extern struct Library *IntuitionBase;
-
- in your program, it will be opened for you, and then closed for you when
- your program exits.
-
- DOSBase and SYSBase are already handled by the startup code in c.o.

-
- Actually, you can go to 2.0 in your A1000, but the easiest way is to buy
- a "ROM-Switcher" card to do it. You can build your own fairly cheaply,
- or get one of the current Commercial models...
