When I bought my 520ST a few days ago, I discovered that a BASIC interpreter was not included on the language disk. Atari's advertising of the 520ST mentions that BASIC is included in the system - so how do I get a copy of the BASIC interpreter and the associated documentation? Also, can anyone recommend any magazines that have articles about the 520ST Thanks, Eric Terrell (CSNET ADDRESS terrell@ohio-state)

Both Atari-specific magazines, Antic and Analog, are good sources for information on the ST. Richard E. Sansom {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!trwrb!trwrba!sansom

Eric, If you send in your registration card you should get BASIC in the mail. If you can't wait you should be able to find plenty of copies floating around at your nearest Atari computer store or user's group. It is free and not copy protected. John

If you can't wait to get the BASIC from Atari, let me know as I can send you a copy of BASIC (I only have the program itself -- no documentation).

Of course there is also Analog, but I haven't been as impressed. Anybody seen the game "Hacker" for the ST? It is supposed to be *awesome* I will be able to give a review in the near future...

I got the disk and a copy of the manual free from my dealer. All dealers should now have this stuff, but if yours doesn't, Atari will mail you the disk & docs after you return your warranty card.

I got mine in the mail about three days ago. I bought my computer in July.
Be sure to send in your warranty card, that's all I had to do.
