I'm sure this has been brought up before so I'll make it brief: Can anyone suggest books with accurate information about AES, VDI and TOS, why they are good and where I can get them (most likely mail order(?))? I already know about Atari's developer program. However, I want to get some practice working with GEM/TOS before I develop something. Reply via E-mail. thanks. john chu@autarch.acsu.buffalo.edu
