The documentation I received with my Amiga came in spiral-bound books with a fold-up cover (the way the TeXbook is bound, but cheaper). Replacement three-hole sheets wouldn't help me. Nevertheless, I would have spiral bound them anyway. While we're on this subject, let me flame C-A for not including an AmigaDos user's manual with the system. I think far more people make use of the CLI than programmers needing autodocs, so C-A's claim that most people don't need the information is false in this case. I do agree with Mike, though. C-A really should give the autodocs to Fred and generally make them more available. What's so precious about the autodocs as compared to the IFF specs? Fred has those. -- Mike Portuesi / Carnegie-Mellon University Computer Science Department ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu UUCP: {backbone-site}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp BITNET: rainwalker@drycas (a uVax-1 run by CMU Computer Club...tons o' fun)
