[comp.sys.atari.st] How to get started

goertzel@DCA-EMS.ARPA.UUCP (03/19/87)

I've just purchased a 1040STf with the atari hard disk and the color monitor.
In reading through the messages I discover there is a great deal that I don't
know anything about.  Simple things like

a.  What is the program that takes the programs included in messages or in
info-atari and decodes them so they can be run?  How can I get it?

b.  What repositories exist for atari 16 bit information and how do  I arrange
to get access?

c.  Do you have a distribution list for messages on atari 16 bit info and if
so how do I get added to it?

d.  Is there a bibliography of useful books I can track down so I have a chance
of understanding my new box?

e.  Do you have a starter kit?  I'm reasonably comfortable with my Zenith 248
but a real novice with the ST.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Herb Goertzel (goertzel@dca-ems.arpa)
