N(o)e(i)l? > There is a very handy reference book available for the ST from Glentop. The book is very terse, and certainly is meant as a quick reference for people already familiar with the ST's hardware, OS & Gem. It serves that purpose very well. If you are looking for a book that tells all about Gemdos or aes/vdi etc, this is not for you. Title: The Concise Atari ST 68000 Programmers Reference Guide Author: Katherine Peel Foreword: By JT himself! Publisher : Gentop ISBN: 1-85181-017-X Mark Williams has supposedly written up excellent documentation on Aes/Vdi and Line A. Their present documentation describes bios, xbios, gemdos and of course the standard C libraries very well. If the additional documentation is of the same quality, then it will certainly be the one to have. Some people claim to have seen it, and have high praises for it. -- usenet: .....!decvax!cwruecmp!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@case arpa: bammi%case@csnet-relay compuServe: 71515,155
