though there is probably no single volume which adequately describes
the ST, i find it easier to use the Pollack and Weber "ATARI ST Application
Programming" book 'cuz it lexically lists all the AES/VDI/gemdos/bios/xbios
calls in one easy-to-handle volume. the developer's kit is probably the
most comprehensive, and the most expensive.

i have all the (important) abacus books, the dev kit, and a handful of
others but primarily use pollack and weber, mainly for call prototypes.

if you are VERY serious about the ST, get all the above and a good
disassembler. working code is ultimately the best reference *8^)...

if u are just getting started or don't want to spend much, get pollack
and weber.
