Unfortunatley, the fact is, that Windoze is "standarized" in the computer
world. Weather anyone like it or not, its a fact of the reality of the
current and future computer situation.

Yes, for me, all of the above is very important. I have been an Amiga fan
since March1986 and user since Apr1989. I have tried some codeing in ASMone
and GCC C++. A year or two ago I used nrCOBOL and GCC C++ from the Geek
Gadgets CD for my college OOP and COBOL projects. I was the one and only
person in the whole university NOT using a peecee for his projects, but an
Amiga A1200. My documentation was made on FinalWriter4 which I got on an
AmigaFormat CD. Oh, you can find nrCOBOL on the Aminet archive.
If I was a commercial developer and not intending to make use hardware/OS
independence apps then I will be developing for windoze. Then I am not
gonna care about portability etc and not gonna use the AMiga/Tao SDK.

I have already done a LOT of Linux HOWTO RTFMing, and found that quite
educational. I know now a lot more about IP masquerading, kernel setups and
what have you since the past 2 months. But, as I am not into systems
controlling these Linux FAQ/HOWTOs is (to use Seven of Nine's words)
irrelevant. As said just now, the educational value is nice but nothing
more. So is the opinion of commercial developers too. And, it will only be
sensible that @amiga.com isn't stupid and realise it also.
Until end of Oct2k when the Windoze SDK is availabe (newbies like me, and
possibly also commercial developers) will do more reading from the SDK
manual.
The idea is to get going in the AmigaSDK, not to read Linux HOWTO's.
