Gary, to get DICE to compile 2.0 specific code, you'll need to perform some setup work with the directories. Basically, you would have the include files for 1.3 in a directory called amiga13 and the 2.0 includes in a directory called, appropriately enough, amiga20. Then, add to the DICE-Startup file a line 'setenv DCCOPTS "-2.0"' or 'setenv DCCOPTS "-1.3"' (without the single quotes, of course). This will automagically change the path that DICE uses to search for include files and will also change which of the amiga##.lib libraries it uses. You could also use an alias in the shell to change the version on the fly. Pretty handy. As for the AutoDOCS, these are summary listings of what every function in the various libraries expect for input, what they give back, and what the heck the purpose of the routine is, as well. Very handy, especially in light of the fact that you can write 90% of the user interface using straight boiler-plate from the manuals. Beats the heck out of Windows, IMAO. At least it's pretty consistent. Good luck on learning C. If you need any help, just yell. We have some real aces around here. (Not including myself, I'm just a slightly bright novice in C).
