Regarding writing GDOS drivers, someone asked a legitimate question along
these lines, and Neil Harris' reply was something along the lines of:
"This is a complex subject, and you probably wouldn't understand it."
 
From which I inferred there is NO documentation on the subject available
from Atari..
 
(I won't go into what I inferred about Neil Harris from this statement)

 
About the ProGEM articles from Tim Oren...   John Brochu, author of PICSWITCH]
(among others), sent me the articles with the C code examples appended..
I've already uploaded them to Delphi, and if I could ever remember to, will
send them up to CompuServe..
 
I dunno about submitting them to .binaries from Portal... "it's a complex
subject, and I probably wouldn't understand it"

If there's enough interest, I could probably give it a shot..!
