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 49 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jack Perry on 25-Apr-2002 15:30 GMT | I don't see what all the fuss is about, PDF vs. HTML vs. CHTML vs. whatever. Why is everyone acting like Olaf has to pick just one??? A half-decent word processor will export to PDF and HTML, I reckon CHTML wouldn't be too bad, and surely it wouldn't take a very difficuly program to translate those to AmigaGuide or other formats. (...said someone who hasn't written an Amiga program in a looooong time.)
But yeah, disk space is cheap; include all of them on the CD and let the developer decide.
My only request: PLEASE GOD don't make the HTML file one long-a$$ document as H&P did with the AmigaDOS manual. My Amiga 1200 didn't have enough Chip RAM for it; it was slow as heck to load and render, and completely forfeited the biggest advantage of HTML docs IMHO. |
