Is there any difference between a Port and a MsgPort? I can't even find
a definition of Port in the 1.3 autodocs, but the _RKM: Libraries and
Devices_ sections on Console and Serial devices use pointers to Ports
while I've been using pointers to MsgPorts.
Please reply by email. Since there is a small but finite probability that
someone else is interested in this question and is also too stupid to be able
to find an answer in the docs on his/her own, I will post a summary.

A lack of prior planning on the part of any programmer
always constitutes an emergency.

Anyone with BIX access can report mistakes or ambiguities in the manuals to the amiga.dev/book.comments area. There was a recent message in that topic (see message #261) specifically asking for corrections for what will be the new Libs & Devs (consisting of the old Exec, Intuition, and L & D manuals minus the include files and function descriptions). So if anybody knows of anything that needs to be corrected or clarified, report it now or it may have to wait for the next revisions (1.5 ?) > In the pages below, all references to "struct Port" should apparently be > changed to "struct MsgPort" Consider it reported.
