Short: Collection of Amiga- and C-related News Author: [distilled by] Jorgen Grahn Uploader: ex-grahn mdstud chalmers se Type: docs/misc Architecture: generic This is a selection of News I've dumped in the period between January 1993 and November, 1994. The selection is very subjective; I only saved things that interested me or were new for me. Also, I can't guarantee the correctness in any of this. Much of the postings are of the kind where one guy asks a question, another answers and everybody else shouts: WRONG! Do like this instead... amiga.applications Information on useage and 'hidden features' of well-known Amiga applications. Practically empty. amiga.arexx Programming in Rexx on the Amiga, hints and help. amiga.compilers Not-too-often seen information on how to use programming packages, mostly the SAS/C compiler and DICE. Much on startup code and things like that. A few useful hints on using SAS' debugger better. amiga.hardware Information concerning the hardware; problems with hard disks; why floppies click, ... amiga.humor Satire and involuntary comedy connected with the Amiga. amiga.programming More or less accurate answers to questions on programming. Discussion on shareable library bases, much BOOPSI talk, some example source. amiga.system Things to do with the system software. Hardlinks vs. softlinks, how to isolate system software from 3rd party software, undocumented features, how to get true UNIX pipes in the Shell... amiga.trivia Stories from the history of the Amiga, hidden ROM messages, inside stories... general.humor Witty or bizarre non-Amiga related postings general.programming Articles mostly on algorithms and C programming style. I hope I've not offended anyone by releasing their articles in this somewhat more stable form. I'm following the general rule that things released as Usenet news is redistributable unless otherwise noticed. I've encountered one case where text actually wasn't 'freeware', and I deleted it (a programming tutorial by Udo "Kingfisher"). Jörgen Grahn
