[comp.sys.atari.st] help on gdos

cyliax@ea.ecn.purdue.edu (Ingo Cyliax) (12/23/87)

I need information on gdos. I need to know how to write new device drivers,
or find out about someone that already has device drivers for what I want.
I am interested in device drivers for the following. 

		Gemini 10 ( Gemini 10x will probably work)
		Hp 7221 Plotter 
		
		Unix plot format
		PostScript

All these device drivers will have to be able to write to a file instead
of just running it down the printer port. I would prefer information on
how to write the device drivers over the actual device drivers, but I'll
take what I can get. I have heard that this information is available to
"registered developers".

And now for a little Flame .....

/******** FLAME ON **********/
I don't really want to be a "registered developer"; I don't feel that
paying $300 for a buggy compiler and skimpy docs. is really worth it.
Beside I'm not "developing" software, all I want is documentation
so I can use the software that I buy. The software package that I bought,
uses gdos and the company doesn't want to give me docs on gdos, since 
I can get the docs by becoming a "registered developer".
If you want people to use your product (gdos in this case), you'd better
supply documentation for it at a reasonable price.
