(re)Learning how to program an Amiga after a 20 year break
introduction
This repo is not meant to be an amiga programming guide. If you're looking for the correct way to program an amiga, there are lots of other guides out there. These examples start where I left off around 1990. We had very bad programming habbits in those days.
I do however try to show exactly what is going on in each example. Wherever possible I try and use constants from the OS includes instead of magic custom addresses etc.
Where possible I will try and write development system programs that show how data is created/converted.

cross development environment
Built on OSX 10.11.3 Notes:
- My /usr/local is writable by me. You will probable need to add "sudo" to any "make install" lines
- I have gcc-5.3.0 installed in /usr/local
