Fixed the errors, thanks for reporting.

I've run into the Kockstart being loaded

"Cockstart" would be a great name for system kernel, wouldn't it?

@Belxjander

Would submissin examples be allowable as part of "Community Contributin"s?

You can always send your example code or tutorials for inclusion in the AmigaOS Developer Wiki. I'll be happy to post the material for you.

I'm afraid the source code to dtdesc might be lost now.

I suppose exec includes might refer to it as APTR to remove the dependency on dos related include files?

Could be. Perhaps the Exec developers could shed some light on this?

@thomasrapp On 68k it's surely a BPTR as returned by LoadSeg(). That's what I thought would be the case (and what I've been using for years myself). I was just surprised to see APTRs here and there in library sources, and also <exec/libraries.h> in the latest OS4 SDK has a structure in which the seg...

Looking at various library and BOOPSI class sources, I keep seeing the library base seglist member declared as either APTR or BPTR. I also see that depending on that declaration, the respective libClose and libExpunge vectors return either APTR or BPTR. Which of the two pointer types is correct?

@TSK IOO->NewToolObject("TestApp",TRUE,(struct WBStartup *)argv); IOO->NewWindowObject(tool,"main"); Wouldn't it be much more convenient and future-proof to have just one constructor function for all objects, where the first parameter would be the object type and the other parame...

@Spirantho I've never coded a device but I'd say that the expunge procedure will be similar to (if not the same as) that of a library. Normally, in the expunge function you should check the library instance counter (lib_OpenCnt), and if it is > 0, set lib_Flags |= LIBF_DELEXP and return 0 (LIBF_DELE...
