Thanks. At one time, there were 3 separate manuals. 1. The AmigaDOS User's Manual 1.1 Introducing AmigaDOS 1.2 AmigaDOS Commands 1.3 ED -- The Screen Editor 1.4 EDIT -- The Line Editor 1.5 Error Codes and Messages 2. The AmigaDOS Developer's Manual 2.1 Programming on the Amiga 2.2 Calling AmigaDOS 2.3 The Macro Assembler 2.4 The Linker 2.5 Console Input and Output 3. The AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual 3.1 The Filing System 3.2 Amiga Binary File Structure 3.3 AmigaDOS Data Structures 3.4 Additional Information for the Advanced Developer Section 3.2 describes the object file structure and hunk types. For release 1.2, all three manuals were combined. The combination is: The AmigaDOS Manual, 2nd Edition (The Bantam Amiga Library) ISBN 0-553-34440-0 It says: "Ask your bookseller for the books you have missed or order direct from Bantam by calling 800-223-6834 ext 479. (In New York, please call 212-765-6500 ext 479.)" -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: jms@tardis.tymnet.com or jms@gemini.tymnet.com BT Tymnet Tech Services | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-C41 | BIX: smithjoe | 12 PDP-10s still running!

Why isn't there one for V1.3? I don't know. The Bantam AmigaDOS book indeed combines all three of the volumes you refer to. It was issued for 1.1, and revised for 1.2. For 1.3, there were really no technical changes to AmigaDOS (excepting FFS). The changes were Shell and c: command-related, and those are covered quite well in the Enhancer 1.3 book. >Deven Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.
