If necessary, before 2.0 RKMs are written, BUY your way out of you Bantam obligation, but please give us competent AmigaOS programmers documentation this time around. The stuff in the AmigaDOS 1/2 manual brings a whole new terror to the term "obscure". Having said which, I want to put in yet another plug for .advocacy, which, you will notice, is where followups to this article are going. When a programming question descends into a long, boring exchange of spleen like the current one between Peter Cherna and Mike Meyer, take it to email, if at all possible, to .advocacy if you insist on washing dingy linen in public, but please get it out of the technical groups. There is still far too much traffic in .programming, and it seems to have become the defacto replacement c.s.a, which if the trend continues, will make it as useless as c.s.a had become. This is a consensual anarchy, where the only rules are good manners; it only works well if _everybody_ helps. /// It's Amiga /// for me: why Kent, the man from xanth. \\\/// settle for <xanthian@Zorch.SF-Bay.ORG> <xanthian@well.sf.ca.us> \XX/ anything less? -- Convener, COMPLETED comp.sys.amiga grand reorganization.
