Didn't even know it existed until I ran across it on the shelf, but I thought I'd mention it to those out there looking for an alternative to the DRI/Atari "documentation" (and I use the term loosely!) It is really a very good book. It covers all aspects of GEM, points out differences between the ST and MSDOS versions, and is very complete and clearly written. I've only had it a few days, and I am now ready to burn the Abacus book!! The book is called "Programmers Guide to GEM", written by Phillip Balma and William Fitler, published by Sybex. It costs $20, and well worth the bucks.
