Drop by your local B.Dalton Booksellers or Waldenbooks book stores, and take
a look at the *multi-volume* set of Amiga documentation that's available to
ANYONE (without having to pay a $300 "initiation fee")
 
Then check out the Apple Macintosh "Toolbox" series of books covering the
essentials of programming for the Mac... again, available over the counter
to ANYONE who wants the knowledge...
 
Then ask yourself what is Atari Corp trying to do by keeping all this info
"secret"...?
