Did amiga.lib exist in the first release of the Amiga SDK issued after the Amiga 1000 was released?
In order to execute Read(), were you nominally required to
#include <clib/dos_protos.h>
(and did that exist in the first SDK?)
I'm thinking that I would like to have the above header file, but make it:
#define Read(a, b, c) DOSBase->Read(a,b,c)
rather than having a normal prototype and a real function.
It would be transparent to any application that was following the rules.
Is there anything wrong with that approach?
Thanks. Paul.
