Summary: Docs for metafiles?

[]

It's sad to hear that the GEM metafile standard isn't.  Oh well, what do
you expect...

Can somebody point us to a source of info on GEM metafile format, other than
the dev pak (I spent $200 on the other compiler)?  If there is something on
Compuserve, etc., can somebody post it here?  There is very little in the
book by Balma and Fittler.

In addition to info on the metafile itself, I'd like to know whether one can
write metafiles through some high-level calls in Megamax C. Is GDOS necessary?

Flame: the ST is doomed unless GDOS, plus info and dev tools, become readily
       available.  Only with graphics portable between programs can the ST
       compete with the Mac in any way besides the price.
