What is a good reference book for DOS? I have the RKM, but it
doesn't cover DOS at all. Neither does Mortimer's books.
I want a book that covers ALL of the DOS system calls, and has the
equivalent of the RKM's AutoDocs.
Good explanations and example code would help also.
Any suggestions? Any bogus books I should avoid?

On this same note, has anyone published a summary of available GOOD books on the Amy and AmyDOS ? Lately ? Could someone please repost, or create and repost ?

The best (and only) book I have seen about DOS is Rob Peck's Programmer's Guide to the Amiga published by Sybex. It has a very good chapter on AmigaDOS with working examples. I couldn't find enough information in the AmigaDOS manual or anywhere else to do some of the stuff he documented even after I knew how. There are also chapters on Exec, Graphics, Intuition, Devices (ASIDE: not how to write one though. We could use a book on that) ,Animation, Sound and Multitasking. It's a very nicely written book, much easier to follow than much of the 'Official' stuff. Every programmer should have one. <<<Doug>>> -- Doug Lee douglee@becker 416-461-5357
