I am now thinking about my next tutorial, and was thinking of doing one on the IFF Format. I just got the routines for reading and writing IFF Formatted files. I spent the day visiting various Guru's from Los Gatos including a trip to Clowd 9 to visit the Woz. One stop was Electronic Arts to re-assure myself that they were committed to developing a standard for music and graphics. I found out that the music format isn't as developed as I would have liked it to be. Then after Woz, I dropped by Amiga in Los Gatos and visited them. The Amiga folks well be reviewing my future tutorials for accuracy and code style from now on. I want to do the sound tutorial next, but feel it appropriate to do a small tutorial on I/O and multi-tasking before covering the Music section because knowledge about the I/O is necessary. I could do the Music as an example of I/O programs. The new ROM Kernal manual soon to be released will have a more comprehensive section on sound and music. Two example programs are included. I also got a diskette with some new stuff, but forgot to ask Amiga folks If I can give it out. I think they plan on releasing some more stuff to the nets soon. So, I guess I will toss it up for discussion, It would be: 1. IFF tutorial and reading dpaint files. 2. I/O, Multi-tasking, and Sound. At this time, I have enough material to do either of these tutorials. Mail in YOUR vote to: UUCP: ihnp4!ptsfa!well!crunch BIX: crunch WELL: crunch DELPHI: CRUNCH I will compile your votes and post the results later. In the meantime, got lots of reading to do. Hope you enjoyed the Menu/requester/Gadget tutorial, and any comments and suggestions would be appreciated. I will eventually do BOTH, but thich one I do FIRST is up to you.
