- AMIGA C MANUAL
-
- V2.00
-
- The Amiga C Manual (ACM) V2.00 is a complete C manual for the
- Amiga which describes how to open and work with Screens, Windows,
- Graphics, Gadgets, Requesters, Alerts, Menus, IDCMP, Sprites,
- VSprites, AmigaDOS, Low Level Graphics Routines, Hints and Tips,
- etc. The manual also explains how to use your C Compiler and
- gives you important information about how the Amiga work and how
- your programs should be designed. The Amiga C Manual consists of
- 15 chapters together with more than 100 fully executable examples
- with source code, everything stored on four disks.
-
- At the end of the manual there are several appendices such as: A
- complete description of all functions and examples used in the
- Manual. Full ASCII and RAWKEY codes lists. Description of all
- data types and operators used by C, and finally a comprehensive
- chapter about the Guru Meditation codes.
-
- Many utilities and demonstration programs are also included with
- the manual, together with complete source code. FileWindow, a
- file requester that dynamically allocates memory when needed.
- ColourWindow, a colour requester with several interesting
- features. Three short programs that describes how to read
- directly from the Joystick, Mouse and Keyboard ports. EasySound,
- with this utility you can now easily include sound in your
- programs.
-
- The Amiga C Manual consists of simple as well as complex
- examples, which go deeper into each subject than any other
- manual. ACM can both be read as a tutorial and as a reference
- manual.
-
- The whole manual is stored on four disks which means that you
- will save days of work since you do not need to type in the
- examples yourself. You can directly run the already compiled
- programs, or immediately start to experiment with the source
- code. Programming should be fun!
-
- The programs are written in Lattice C V5.10, but will compile
- perfectly with older version, as well as with other C compilers.
-
- All programs written by ACC follows the programming rules. They
- contain full error checking and return all allocated resources.

- AMIGA C CLUB
-
- The Amiga C Club (ACC) is a non profit making organization which
- primary goal is to help C programmers all over the world. ACC is
- only one year old, but have already more than one hundred
- registered members from 35 different countries:
-
- Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Central African
- Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
- Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya,
- Latvia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Mexico, Portugal, Saudi
- Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom,
- Uruguay and USA.
-
- ACC helps C programmers by answering questions, correcting
- programs, giving advice, designing layouts etc. Whatever the
- problem is, as long as it has to do with C on the Amiga, ACC will
- try to solve it. We can not guarantee that we can find a solution
- to your problem, but we are here to help you and we will do our
- best.
-
- Registered members can also get pictures digitized
- (low-resolution PAL, 320 * 256 pixels, 16 grey shades). This is
- extremely useful if you want to design impressive graphical user
- interface. We can also sample sound effects in mono as well as in
- stereo. This help together with our simple but flexible sound
- routines means that you now easily can add sound to your
- programs.
-
- All help given by ACC to registered members is free of charge.
-
- One other important task for ACC is to keep the Amiga C Manual up
- to date. New material is constantly added, and old parts
- rewritten. Members can easily get new versions for only the cost
- of disks plus postage and packing.
