Does any one know the legal status of Autodocs, which detail the library functions of the Amiga OS ? If they are freely distributable, where can I get them, and if they are not, why not ? I remember a demo for a package called InfoMinder some years back which contains the autodocs for version 1.1 but I am more interested in the text for 1.3 & 2.0 I would be grateful if someone would answer my queries. Thanks Adam Lock

The 2.0 includes and autodocs will be available from CATS at some point in the future as the "2.0 Native Developer Update". Right now they are only available to developers. See below for information on becomming a developer. These files are NOT freely distributable. If you wish to become a developer in the U.S., send mail to: CATS-Admin 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 And ask for information on the developer support program. I believe that you can also call (215) 431-9180 and they will send you the info. There are two developer levels, both require that you be working on a product that you believe will make it to market. Developer status includes a subscription to AmigaMail (our technical newsletter), access to beta software, access to developers conferences, and access to closed conferences on BIX. Commercial status also includes phone support. Certified Developer, $75/year, no phone support, no other requirements. $25 signup cost. Commercial Developer, $450/year, phone support, requires that you have an existing product on the market. $50 signup cost. CATS also offers materials such as DevCon notes, 1.3 Developer Update, and AmigaMail. Prices and ordering information are available at the above address. Most of the CATS developer support materials are available to non-developers, so you can get the technical information even if you do not want to become a developer. -- -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - (215) 431-9421 - Commodore Business Machines uucp: ken@cbmvax.commodore.com or ...{uunet,rutgers}!cbmvax!ken bix: kfarinsky
