Well ok..
I want to start programing... I have several languages
and books to choose from. I decided to start with
(to much howling) AmigaBasic. I set up a partition
on my HD and installed DOS 1.3. That took some
fiddling but I got it going and went through that.
I have a couple of apps in mind that I want to do
but AmigaBasic is too restictive. Blitz2 or AmiBlitz
looks good. I have the book on Blitz2, the problem
is, there are several examples I can load in to look
at. BUT what am I looking at. There seems to be
something missing. At the begining of the lines there
is a character or two, what are they (returns
maybe)?? Also some of the commands seem to be
missing. I can look at the code and guess what
should be there but not.I tried saving in ASCII to see
if that would bring out the missing code, NOPE.
These programs work, they will compile and run.
So there is something here that I am not seeing,
probably something obvious. But reguardless I'm
not seeing it. I'm looking for a little tutoring to get
to the point where I understand what I'm looking
at. I live out in the Boonies, and around here they
don't even know what an Amiga is. They couldn't
or wouldn't bother with me if I'm not using a
"Fee Cee". So ... any help?
