Maybe this should become part of the monthly intro posting!!!
For the second time, here are the ISBNs for all three of the 1.3
Reference Manuals:
1. Amiga Rom Kernel Reference Manual: Includes & Autodocs
ISBN 0-201-18177-0
2. Amiga Rom Kernel Reference Manual: Libraries & Devices
ISBN 0-201-18187-8
3. Amiga Hardware Reference Manual
ISBN 0-201-18157-6
As to where they can be obtained......
I got mine at various Amiga dealers. They should also be avaliable
at many mail-order places. You could also check bookstores that have
a good technical or computer selection (BookStop has them).
There have been rumors going around that there is going to be a new
DOS manual coming out soon. Anyone have any info on that?

Where can I find the latest Rom Kernal Manuals? Does anyone have the ISBN numbers? Also, what are the available developer packages from CATS? Thanx!

I've at last managed to get my copy (here in this backwater called Britain) of the new Libs & Devs. Fine. However, there is still a little bit missing. If you look in the Includes and Autodocs for dos.library details, it says that's in the AmigaDOS manual. What? ;-\ This is a book that I have not seen on the shelves, and the RKM's mention nothing about it being another in the series. Where can I purchase this lofty tome? And now, a mild flame. If you read the RKM bit on Menus, and specifi- cally the bit on menu numbers, the documentation says something like "always use the macros MENUNUM(),ITEMNUM(),SUBNUM(), never the raw number because it may change on other implementations." Fine, except there are NO MACROS TO GO THE OTHER WAY!, so if you want to turn off a menu option with OffMenu(Window,MenuNumber), for example then you have to resort to the raw code anyway. Ah well, if it was a perfect world I would die of having nothing to flame :-) -- # J.Gold | mapjilg@uk.ac.bath.gdr # # University of Bath , UK | jilg@uk.ac.bath.maths #
