This dictionary is \copyright 1993 by the Sirvex Foundation. You are permitted
to make a single hardcopy copy of this document for your own use. You may not
modify the document. Printed and bound copies of this dictionary are available
from the author at the address given below for $25 (US) or $40 (NZ).

The main dictionary contains about 80 pages and the appendices contain about 50
pages.

This is a dictionary of terms, functions, acronyms, and abbreviations which are
relevant to the Amiga. This dictionary is not a dictionary of computer science
or computers in general. Nor is it a replacement for the ROM Kernel Reference
Manuals or any other Amiga documentation.

The aim of the dictionary is to collect together various things which would
normally have a user running to a variety of other sources.

Currently the dictionary is reasonably complete up to Workbench 1.3. Entries for
Workbench 2.0 onwards are scarce at the moment. Currently included are entries
for Amiga DOS commands, Amiga BASIC functions, C functions, Amiga library
functions, Amiga device functions, printer codes, constants, and may other
things. The C entries are biased towards SAS~C. If someone gives me permission
and documentation I will add entries for other versions of C. Also, there is no
mention of AMOS, C++, Pascal, and other languages at the moment since I don't
have any of these, or documentation for them.

I am considering making entries for third party libraries in a manner similar to
those of the native Amiga libraries. If anyone has written a library they wish
to have mentioned in the dictionary please let me know.

As in any work of this size there are sure to be many errors. If you find an
error please do not flame me. I can only work on this dictionary in my spare
time, and I am definitely not an expert in all areas. I would, however,
appreciate mail detailing the exact nature of any errors you find and I will
endeavour to correct the error for future editions.

Any person who sends more than fifty definitions not currently in the dictionary
will have their name included in an acknowledgements section if desired.
