Hi ,
Recieved your message about [amiga-c] Re: C-Amiga book?, on 27-Feb-01

well stick me down for a copy, i much prefer using reference material
on paper than from files on disk/cd.
Covering things like directory scanning (ExAll, ExNext etc.) and how
to copy a file the fool proof way and simple things which are handy as
a quick reference.
Granted these code snippets could just as well be offered on a web
site - such as the C repository. BTW: has the site been moved to a
better server (ie. non Redhotant.com yet??)

hm, no this wouldn't be the same - the new AmigaDE/OS/whatever uses a
new system so the Amiga specifics in the book would not be useful and
so not interesting for any new coders comming to 'Amiga'. Maybe the
'classic' Amiga but then you don't really see new developers
approaching the platform these days.
Or were you just counting on Eyetechs hardware selling really well
(doubt it?) and emulating the classic (current) Amiga OS?

Once you've set the poll up the group should get notification to go
and place their answer.

make sure anybody donating code knows it may be published and is okay
with this condition then. don't many any grumbles comming up from
this list (again).

a nice sql search engine to find code snippets on given topics would
be handy. and allow a form button to copy the code from the page to
the clipboard at the click of it :o) for lazy people to paste into
their c text editor... hehe.
