Extracting OS4.x API information from publicly available executables

[Karlos]

Well, at least someone is developing something on their amigaos/compatible machines. Which is more than I've done in a long while :-(

That makes sense. BTW, that thread on AW.net is back now with the explanation of how it was done.

Calm down. That thread was getting out of hand, so they pulled it temporarily and created another thread to let people know what happened. It's back up now that itix has responded.

There's a topic on utilitybase.com from February 2008 regarding using the OS4 SDK to write OS3 software. In that topic, there's a note about the DOS portions of the OS4 SDK including four unimplemented 64-bit APIs. Here's a quote:

The OS4 DOS 68K vector table is also complete for all
functions, including all new ones since OS3.9.
(but with null() stubs installed for the 4x 64 bit funcs)

This might have been covered elsewhere already. Regardless, there's certainly evidence that at least some of the 64-bit APIs were documented (in headers, binary code, or otherwise) prior to the OS4.1 announcement.

64-bit reading/writing/seeking is already in the current public SDK. However, some functions (e.g., ExAll() and similar) didn't have 64-bit counterparts. My understanding is that Amiga OS 4.1 will have a fully 64-bit DOS library.
