Boot Selector for Amiga 600 / 1200 (update)
With a boot selector it is possible to use an externally connected floppy drive (or Gotek Floppy Drive Emulator) as boot floppy.

Peter John "pjhutch" Hutchison's English-language "Amiga C Tutorial" is supposed to help C newcomers to program under AmigaOS with the help of many code examples (amiga-news.de reported).

As he told us, this is what happened in the Screens chapter: A wrong pointer was used to close screens.
