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 80 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AmiTroll on 27-Apr-2002 02:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 25 (José): >Hugh? Are you sure where did you got that?
Heh! It's true. Where did i got it isn't important. Amigados has had some changes made to it. I won't say more because you will only say i'm lieing or just flame me as some lamer who has no clue about what he's talking about. It's been said already by Hyperion that the filesystem and dos have had changes. So take it or leave it. The RKRM's and autodocs will be out within a couple months and everyone can see. No matter what format they are in. :)
And btw, i wouldn't much care if they were done in ASCII. Yeah, plain old simple and reliable ASCII. I kind of prefer it. Scary aint it? To actually have to READ something and LEARN it so you cant just click n copy code out of the manual. But then i happen to like reading books too and they are all done in plain ASCII ;). Must be hell never useing ones brain. Olaf, keep it simple for us please. About the only thing wrong with the amigaguide format is how Multiview adds codes for bold and italics when saving the page out as a text file. And those can be stripped off quick enough. Please dont do 50 formats. Please don't put it into some non-portable or hard to translate format. Keep it simple for us and if someone wants to copy it to some other format later on they can. I dont need a web browser to read text. I dont need spiffy animations and the latest and greatest PDF viewer to read simple and straightforward autodocs. All i want is the basic text so, please get the fancy schmancy buttons and ultra hyperlinks the hell away from me. I want to read the text not play some damned mouse driven game. :)
