How exactly is it that a person can become an official Atari software
developer?  I know there is a fee, but who and where can I contact someone?

Thanks ahead.

Call 408-745-2568, This is Gail Johnson the Developer Coordinator and she
can fill you in on how to become a developer. If you are a developer and have
not gotten the recent newsletter with price breakdown on updates to parts of
the dev. docs, you should contact her also

Probably the best thing to do, to make sure you get all the details would
be to call Charles Cherry or Gail Johnson at Atari Corp.  Unfortunately
I can't find their individual numbers here, but if you call the main
Atari switchboard at  (408) 745-2000, they should be able to connect you.
 
Essentially it costs $250 to become a registered developer, which includes
the Documentation kit and software, and other incentives like the Developers'
newsletter and special pricing on hardware.
 
While the price has gone down, the requirements have been stiffened somewhat.
You now have to prove that you're an active software developer with products
already on the market, or provide a business plan if you don't already
have Atari related products.
