I've got both of the books Scott mentioned in his post (Compute!'s book on
VDI and Bantam's Atari ST Applications Programming).  I've even been going
through the Compute! book examples using Mark Johnson's C compiler.  It is
there that I have a question...

When opening a virtual workstation to the screen, is it possible to switch
to NDC coordinates?  According to the Compute! book (which may be in error),
with GDOS resident this should be possible.  It is the basis for one of
their examples called, appropriately, NDC.C.  They open a virtual workstation
using Raster coordinates and then open another one using NDC coordinates.

Meanwhile, according to the Bantam book, as long as the physical workstation
was opened using Raster coordinates, any virtual workstation opened after
it can only have Raster coordinates.

Which version of the story is correct?
