John, If you follow this "Programming The Amiga" message thread a lot of very knowledgeable people have been very helpful suggesting their choices as to what they feel are the best books geared to the Amiga and particularily the C language for beginners. I have not yet purchased anything as…
Betty, Where can I find Rob Peck's Programmer's Guide? I have never noticed it in any of the magazine ads or in my local computer store. Rick Herbert Vancouver, B.C.
Scott, Thanks for the warning. As a novice programmer it's probably a good idea to avoid those erroneous and complicated books dealing with C programming. I probably would have just become frustrated and given up. Rick Herbert Vancouver, B.C.
Betty, Thanks for clearing up exactly what a compiler does. It is not that hard of a concept to understand. I have a question about the C Language itself: Do different companies make their own versions of the C language? I also noticed in an AmigaWorld advertisement that Lattice Inc.…
Paul, I had to play around with the View portion of the Whap Program for weeks before I could get it to work properly. I have an Amiga 2000 with 2 floppies and no hard drive. If you have a HD then my advice will be of no help. It…

Steve, I didn't really understand if you were asking a question or what? I'm a new Amiga user and don't know a whole lot. Sorry, Rick Herbert.
Larry, Thank you very much. I am a new user and I have more questions than you could imagine. I just may have to drop in. I know the Willingdon area but BCIT is a Fairly big place. If you happen to read this before the 12th maybe you could…
Keith, I started a message and was cut off with a bunch of funny symbols. so I don't know if you have read what I first wrote. Anyway, second try, the program copy does NOT work properly. It has no Access!me or Anything!me file on it. I would really like…

#New User Help
Message #55864
Keith, I feel very important that a computer bigshot like yourself would take the time to help a new user out. Why is your program not a commercial one. It is nationally recognized as one of the best (so I am told). I got my copy in Portland Oregon but…
