The Abacus GEM book seems to have been done that way. However, the Sybex GEM programming book is quite good, was written in English and not translated. I've never seen the other GEM tutorial book recently mentioned, but I doubt it's just a bad copy of the Atari development docs. Which of these 3 have you looked at? Also, I haven't read the Mark Williams C or Laser C manuals, but the are reputed to be pretty good. ------ Greg Lindahl
