CARROROB@UREGINA1.BITNET (Robert Carroll) (04/30/89)
Ok, this may seem academic, but .... I just got 1.3 includes and the software tool kit a couple of weeks ago from Commodore. Now, I have a decent understanding of ML concepts (from 8bit computers), but I have never used a linker, or include files, ect. I have two good books on 68000 ml (Compute! and Abacus) but they are of no help. My question: How do I go about using the include files, startup code and Amiga.lib in my assembler programs???? If you have any info, advice, text files, examples, ect. I would be VERY happy to hear from you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBERT CARROLL | BITNET: CARROROB@UREGINA1 | Huh? What did you say?

I was in the same situation about 8 months ago.. I just happened on a program that was at my local computer store and it sounds like just what you are looking for.. The program is called : The ToolCaddy by The ToolCaddy Works P.O. Box 5873 Laughlin, NV. 89029-5873 (702) 298-4252 It is basically a disk for tutoring the user through the basics of EXEC (including message handling, ports, multi-tasking, etc) and Intuition (opening Windows and using Menus and Requestors,etc).. I'd say that the program is VERY good when it comes to tutoring the user on the internals of EXEC, but when it comes around to Intuition, they kind of skip around a little.. I believe that the cost of this program is somewhere around $40... You do need to watch out though, the disk contains a program that will enable you to display their tutor text files on the screen and use keys on the keyboard to scroll throught the entire text buffer.. On my machine running WB 1.3, I could get this program to GURU easily. I ended up resorting to dumping the files to my printer for ease of reference later on. P.S. I've got Rev. B of the software. =============================================================================== I Thought So...
