Hi.  I'm a new owner of an Atari 1040ST.  I bought the machine for no other
reason than it was the correct platform for some music sequencing software
that I wanted to run.  Now I'd like to do a little peripheral programming
for the machine and hope that some more experienced users of this machine
can point me at some tools and documentation.  Can anyone tell me where to
get documentation for the Basic which apparently comes with the machine?
Do any reasonably-priced collections of Unix-like tools (grep, od, etc.)
exist?  How about a vi-like editor, or any cheap text editor for that matter?
A C compiler?  System documentation (OS system calls, hardware description,
memory maps, etc.)?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
