Does the ST support NDC (Normalized Device Coordinates)?  I've seen one
source that says it doesn't and one that mentions NDC as a possibility,
which presumably means it does.  Neither source is just a real fount of
reliable wisdom, though; one was the TDI manual (not quite useless, and I
do like Modula), the other was ABACUS Books' GEM_Programmer's_Reference_Guide.

So, what is the real story?  I tried to get an application to run with NDC
and I got bombs instead.  Am I missing something, is TDI missing
something, or is the ST at fault?  Really, of course, Atari is at fault
for not providing useful documentation at a reasonable price.  (Sorry,
Neil, but I just can't resist a chance to *slam* that point home to the
marketing wizards at Atari *one* *more* *time*   1/2 :-)
