Devpac manual anyone?

polbit · 06 January 2007, 16:21

Hi everybody, My first post here... I recently have dug up one of my A2000s because I got the urge to do some Asm programming. It's been years since I touched it, and I can't find any books anymore. Even have the original DevPac disks, and Amiga Developer CD 2.1, but I would really like to get my hands on the DevPac manual, and possibly HiSoft C++ manual. Can anyone point me to where I can download it from, or put it in the Zone? Thanks!! PolBit

Welcome!

Nice to see a fellow coder joining up... can't help you with the manuals though, since I prefer Asm-One myself 8)

polbit · 10 January 2007, 23:02

Really, nobody has an on-line copy, or that extra paper copy that they want to get rid of?

girv · 11 January 2007, 00:13

I have a paper copy, but I'd like to keep it

Photon · 22 January 2007, 16:59

Yeah, funny that no-one has scanned it. Then again, I would never do such a time-consuming thing

dlfrsilver · 22 January 2007, 17:31

the book is more than 253 pages !! ouch !

girv · 22 January 2007, 17:36

If anyone can be bothered to scan it, I might be persuaded to temporarily part with mine...

coze · 22 January 2007, 17:41

I can scan it during my spring holiday (after 12th feb.) but would you send it to Japan ?

bobbybearing · 22 January 2007, 20:25

what about the disk "Devpac Amiga Doc (1988)(Fingers-Solo)" ?

edit: it's a ProWrite version. Text version here

If I remember correctly, the manual has a spiral bound on it, that can be easily removed to scan it. I have a high-speed scanner at work that, if the manual is in fact easly taken apart, I wouldn't might scanning.

I'm suprised too that the manual has not been scanned so far. I found the Atari ST version, and there is the old version mentioned above, but nothing for 3.0+...

The manual I have is spiral bound and is for the Amiga version 3. I'd prefer to send it to someone in the UK, if anywhere, as there's less risk of it going astray in the postal system. Any UK volunteers?

Jherek Carnelia · 26 January 2007, 22:23

I'll do it if you like. I have a colour scanner at work that will do double-sided copy no probs. BUT, if I take it apart, I have no way of putting it back together...
We have a comb binder that can cope with the plastic combs, not with the metal ones. Up to you. PM me if you want to go ahead (I don't visit very often though, 2 or 3 times a week).

polbit · 27 January 2007, 16:33

I'm all for it!!

musashi5150 · 28 January 2007, 01:29

I know some folks love completeness - but Devpac isn't the most complicated of assemblers. You'd only need the manual for MonAm (debugger) and even then I'm sure someone here would write out the key combinations if they were asked nicely...

That's a popular myth. I've sent and received about 30 packages all over the globe over the last two years, regular airmail and a few surface mail packages, and 0 have 'gone astray'.

But I understand if you wouldn't take even a very small risk with your book, if you value it.

BippyM · 29 January 2007, 20:17

No that is for devpac1

Dizzy · 29 January 2007, 20:24

it might be better than nothing

Dizzy · 29 January 2007, 20:28

It's no myth mate, I'm afraid

I buy and sell things on eBay all the time and have been doing so on other auction and classified sites even before eBay for maybe 10 years now. I lose about 1% of my parcels in the UK post. Right now I have a DVD player that I sold on eBay (to a UK buyer) that has gone AWOL; Royal Mail have no clue where it is and won't even start looking until it's been lost for 4 weeks

So you will understand my reluctance
