Subject: | RKMs (was Re: iffparse.library) |
Hello Olaf
Was the 3rd ed of the RKMs the last printing? I have these books in the
same Edition:
RKM-Libraries
RKM-Includes & Autodocs
RKM-Hardware Ref. Man.
RKM-Devices
User Interface Style Guide
Am I missing anything here?
Can I put the RKMs on my HD so I can avoid having to stick in the CD
anytime I want to reference the RKMs on the Amiga? I may have a music CD in
whilst I'm working... :^)
Are the Symtax Checker and AmigaGuide -> HTML files available anywhere? I
have the AnigaGuide extension for the Older version of GoldED and I see
possiblities for downloadable documents as well as have it up on out
website. (Which I'm still trying to get to updating.) The syntax checker
would be nice to catch any gross errors. (Like using Tidy for my HTML
pages.)

At any time, at any place, our snipers can drop you. Have a nice day.
