Defender, whats this startup-code ?
oh, I DID some 2 one-screen demos back in 92-93, one of them used used huge fonts in a scroll, fonts that I drew myself in deluxe paint III I think it was, anyway I did both the graphic (phont) and the code pretty nice, that was fun, and also I drew a picture which I then coded a wave-effect to it (a pretty amateur one, nevertheless), but somehow I wasnt very fond of that OS stuff one had to code, so I just copied a routine to take care of things  :-P , thats pretty much what I did back then, oh I also tried horizontal starscrollers, but failed, cos I didnt know how to work with float-numbers in SEKA, well that was a little story from my amiga life, I hope you enjoyed me babbling nonsense stuff !  :-)

I you mean asm all I can say is that it is HELL alot more elegant syntax in the 680x0 family, I had a look at x86 asm syntax, I didnt exactly fall in love with it (actually was almost throwing up), do you know x86 evil_nerd ? I dont understand how ppl can code x86 cpu's, hell even in C it's a HELLISH SLAVISH amount of code just to use the damn API's for gods sake ! :-(

Hey I've got interested somewhat in coding the amiga in assembler again, during the past days I've been sick at home and reading a two-page article about coding the dos an assembler from a mag called "hemdator-nytt" (swedish mag) from 1990 (tears).
Now, I want to use the DOS in asm and I'm looking for pages containging files, giving all the info of the OS-libraries, the offsets to their routines and the in/out parameters, please post any links you have.

Thanx in advance !
