This is really beginning to irritate me. When the hell are we going to see
GDOS for the ST?? This is something that should have been available from
DAY 1. I was really ticked off when I couldn't do any of the neat stuff
GDOS will supposedly do when I got my machine, after all the ST was billed
as being able to do this stuff.
  And when am I going to see some decent technical documents? I can't afford
$300 for the damned 'developer's kit'!  "Atari ST Internals" contains some
obnoxious errors, and from what I can tell the BIOS listing in the back is
for a version of RAM TOS! That's a real help to me. I mean, come on, even
(dare I say it) IBM is better about such things.
