  Hi there. In the unlikely even that I'll ever get enough money to buy a
C compiler, can anyone recommend what book(s) I should get to learn about
Atari ST programming?

  I'd like to know as much as I can about graphics/sound and disk structure
(yeah, another games-oriented screwball...Don't ya love us?); What books
should I get/avoid? Abacus' line of ST books seem interesting, but I've seen
them flamed/praised, and I'm not so sure.

  I've also got a copy of Sybex's "Programmer's Guide to Gem". How applicable
is that material to the ST? What (major) discrepencies should I know about?


  Please, go ahead and reply, e-mail or netmail...Flame me, heckle me,
something that resembles a reply.

  Thanks in advance,
						--R.J.
