OK, so I'm setting up the assembler recently posted (A68k) and I need libraries like amiga.lib and lc.lib. Also, the book I'm using always does an include of dos_lib.i. Can these be gotten PD (or shareware)? or am I going to have to buy some kind of developers' package? I was also trying to get the recent C complier working (zc). Can anyone point me to some include files? I have a package that amounts to strings.h, but what about stdio.h? Gosh, I didn't want to do anything fancy, just some simple stuff to get started on Amiga programming. Please excuse any ignorances shown, but the only way to cure ignorance is to get information. Thanks a lot for info, pointers, kind words, small gifts... Oops! Sorry, got carried away. ======================================= = Simon Rademacher = = rademach%tramp@boulder.colorado.edu =

By the way, does one need to get some sort of update to Manx 3.6a for AmigaDOS 1.3? How old now is Manx 3.6a? Any sign of 4.0? David Masterson DMasterson@cup.portal.com

Well, there is a smalllib.lib available with most of the functionality of amiga.lib, but in general, no, there are no real PD alternatives to amiga.lib or the includes. (You shouldn't need lc.lib, unless you really need Lattice-specific functions). Anyway, what you can do is to send money to CBM and ask for the '1.3 Native Developer Update'. It costs $20, plus $2.50 for potage/handling, and you do not need to be a registered developer to buy it. It's well worth it, and will save you a lot of trouble.
