The two Classic Amiga programmers journals have been out of business,
and presumably out of print, for more than two years now. (I'm
speaking of Transactor and Amigan Apprentice and Journeyman.) So many
articles in those old magazines will presumably be lost for all time...
Some of the frequent authors whose works have been especially useful
to me are Betty Clay, William Hawes, and John Toebes, who wrote many
columns for both magazines, on topics ranging from font formats to
esoteric assembly language tricks, to general C language programming
tips.
It seems that a few of the authors of those articles are here on the
net, or could reach Usenet somehow. So, what is the possibility that
these articles could be reprinted electronically, and perhaps even
be collected onto a Fish Disk or two?
This would be a great service to the Amiga community, both to programmers,
who would be able to get up to speed more easily, and to users, who would
presumably benefit from whatever benefitted programmers.
Comments, discussions, proposals?

Well, I wouldn't call myself a "great", but I did have a few articles
in the TransAmi. Since I kept the copyrights, I can post them if anyone
cares. I'll post a copy of the original message up on BIX as well to
see what people there say.

I'm no "great" either, but I'd be willing to put out my "Toy" articles. Seeing as I never got paid for them, I expect I still "own" them. I've been meaning to for some time, but I want to redo the object-file-output stuff to be a little cleaner - it's pretty icky. -- Chris Gray alberta!ami-cg!cg or cg%ami-cg@scapa.cs.UAlberta.CA

I, on the other hand, *am* great, and I *didn't* have any articles in Transactor.
