I bought the Blitz Basic one as a ebook and it was genuine although not the greatest book in the world and I'm sure not up there with the mythical Neil Wright one!

Sadly, I have been chasing this for a number of years and have come to the conclusion that if it did exist that it was printed in very limited numbers.

Have fun with your ebooks and now you just have to work out - Blitz or Amos?

I've yet to find a Blitz Basic book that really takes you through everything.

Maybe I'll have another try with BLITZ BASIC Programming base.

For a while now I've toyed with the idea of doing a Blitz Basic book that explains things in a useful way with examples, but sadly I don't have the time. I did cover a fair bit in my Amiga Future tutorials, which are now old enough that they're beginning to be released for free here: https://www.amigafuture.de/app.php/kb/index?c=33

There were 14 parts in total, which will eventually be freely available once the containing magazines have sold out.

It's ok but OS friendly so not so good for games!

Maybe I could start some sort of repository of Blitz stuff on my website. I have quite a few things downloaded including AF and CU Amiga. Also, there is a load of info on the Blitz lists.

Would anyone be up for this?
