I am a new Amiga 2000 owner/user, and I am looking for in depth
explanations of how the machine and AmigaDos works. I am definitely not
new to programming and computers. Right now I am working as a programmer
in a C/Xenix environment. I have bought a couple of Abacus books - AmigaDos
Inside and Out and The System Programmers Handbook. AmigaDos Inside and Out
was a total washout inside and out. It gave very little, I would say amazing
little added information to what the 1.3 Manual provides. I would like more
explanations and plenty of examples of how to write scripts, use commands such
as resident, setenv, status etc. etc.. Also how intuition, preferences, tool
types etc. fit together in the big picture. Is there some good overview out there? Eventually I would like to be able to write applications which merge
music and graphics and would like to able to really run the machine. (That is
what it is isn't it?) I would really appreciate information on how I could
get started.
Thanks.
