A good book to get hold of would be the "AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual."
It contains all of the information you will need to know to be able to create
your own executable files. (Also has all the info. on how AmigaDOS
directories and files are actually stored on disk, documentation for all of
the AmigaDOS structures (like FileHandle, FileLock, DevInfo, CLIStruct, etc.),
and documentation for all of the AmigaDOS packets.)
Get this manual and you'll be all set.

It doesn't have the 'new' hunks that John Toebes defined (via blink/lattice) that apparently CBM blessed but it's got enough to make an executable. I don't think Alink or the Manx linker know/use the new hunks either. Anyway, thought you'd like to know if you're building a hunk parser. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@swan.ulowell.edu ulowell!page Have five nice days.

"The AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual" used to be a book all its own, but it is now contained in the Bantam "AmigaDOS Reference Manual" which should be obtainable for about $25 at your local bookstore (I bought mine at a B. Dalton). -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu / BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "I'm very sorry, Master, but that WAS the backup system" -- Slave
