I have 2 books which tell me just about every software question I've
had about the ST. Cost? $45. Sometimes I think I live in a different
universe from everyone else. If you buy a copy of Mark Williams or
Laser C, you get an excellent GEM manual. You can also mail-order
books about GEM if your dealer doesn't carry them.

So what's the complaint? I keep on asking what people don't like about
current ST books. I haven't seen (yet) a single person who has
actually read the 3rd edition Abacus GEM book, or one of the other
good GEM books, and thought that it had lots of errors. Although some
dealers don't carry them, they are available mail-order, and you can
find ads for them in magazines.

Where's the beef?
