Even if Abacus has withdrawn its appallingly written books, aren't the 
Compute! books still available and 'The Concise Atari ST Programmers Guide'
(I think that's what its called).

I you want to program the ST, buy a C compiler like Prospero's and get 1000 
pages of info on GEM, VDI, AES, TOS etc..

Mark.

PS. Many apologies for not replying to any mail for the last couple of weeks,
