In January 87, SYBEX published my Programmers' Guide To The Amiga.
As of October, they had sold about 8000 copies.  It is still available
through B Dalton, among other places.  I cover both sprites and bobs
and give functioning C source examples of each.  The examples have appeared
on FISH disks since posting to the net and are available on disk 
through the coupon in the back of the book.

(Always nice to find an opportunity to "advertise" :-) ... since
nobody else responded, can ya blame me?  :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) )
