As a Macintosh developer I am very interested in any possible portability
problems in converting from the Mac toolbox to GEM.  I have been told by
several people that, although not exactly the same, they contain the same
fundamental concepts (i.e. event driven, same type of window actions, etc).
I would like to evaluate exactly the portability question by obtaining
a manual for GEM and any other related manuals.  Unfortunately, after
talking to Atari, they only bundle the manuals with the software packet.
I think this is quite unfair and am unwilling to shell out $300 for said
packet of software. I don't even have a machine to run it on.  I am
wondering if there are any other people out there who have this information
who would be willing to send me a copy (of course I will pay for costs)
or at the very least give me some helpful insight into how GEM works
from the programmers point of view.
