[comp.sys.amiga] Addison-Wesly manual update

        A question: does anybody know  if  Commodore  or  Addison
        will  publish  new  books on hardware, intuition, etc?  I
        have gotten the impression that the 4 manuals are kind of
        buggy,  and  with 1.2 out, and the new hardware coming, I
        was hoping  to  get  something  good  and  recent  before
        spending >$100.


                                        Thanks
                                        Dan Edwards

   We won't be publishing new books since the manual rights are owned
by Bantam (AmigaDOS manual) and Addison Wesley (rest of the manuals).

   Bantam already has a 1.2 version of the AmigaDOS manual.  You could
call A/W and ask them if they plan to put out 1.2 versions.  If they are
planning 1.2 versions, you might want to buy something like the Sybex
Amiga Programmer's Handbook while you're waiting for 1.2 manuals.
I think the Sybex book includes descriptions of the 1.2 functions.

   A/W's number is 617-944-8660 (orders), 617-944-3700
