That's cos it is great!

There aren't yet any docs for the ST library, however, most of the functions
are from either ANSI C or UNIX, and so a good book on one or both should tell
you what you need to know. Incidentally, if you not already using it, it's a
good idea to go for Eric Smith's MiNT library (even if you don't have MiNT) as
it means that your programs will almost certainly behave when used by those of
us who do use MiNT.

Unfortunately (for you, anyhow), the GNU project's standard text formatter is
TeX, so you're kind of stumped there! (Perhaps someone could post the info
files built from the docs so that we don't all have to make them?)
