In a recent interview with Hyperion Software, we're told that Olaf "Olsen" Barthel is working on new ROM Kernal Reference Manuals for AmigaOS 4.0! [The "RKRM" books are the official and prime development documentation/tutorial for AmigaOS developers] As some readers of Amiga Network News may already know, Mr Barthel has previously compiled the Amiga Developer's CD.

New AmigaOS 4.0 ROM Kernal Reference Manuals in the works! : Comment 40 of 86ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 8 (Amigan Software):

Nothing has been decided yet. It appears that the original publisher still
has some stake in the RKMs. Whether this is true and which consequences this
may have still needs to be determined. I'm all for a hardcopy version. There
are many things you cannot do quite as conveniently with electronic
documentation (the same can be said about printed documentation, too).

A better autodoc format wouldn't be such a bad idea. It's hard enough to
compile the text from the autodocs and get the cross-references right. We
don't have the source code to the tools this is done with, so a better
solution for knitting the autodocs into a more manageable format would
be called for.

Ick. I didn't really want to go into technical writing any more ;)
