I've seen many references to the book "De Re Atari," which is
apparently the Atari technical bible.  Does anyone know a source from
which De Re Atari is available?

The Atari Program Exchange, which once sold the book, is reportedly
no longer in existence.   It was also excerpted in Byte in 1981/82,
but that series of articles is probably not as complete as the book.

I'm surprised that there are no advertisements in Antic or Analog from
someone who feels the need to provide the Atari user community with
this seemingly invaluable document.  If there is no commercial source,
I'll have to find a local Atari expert who would be willing to loan me
the book.

Thanks,
Dan O'Connell

Atari user groups that were officially registered with the old Atari
should have copies of De Re Atari.  My son organized a users group about
18 months ago and received two copies as part of his registration.  Not
all users groups have taken the time to become registered and may not
have copies.
