Does anyone know how to produce programs which will print 40 column
text on the hi-res monitor?  (using the C development kit)

How do you invoke the init function in Atari's Line A Interface in
C, especially in reference to obtaining the Font addresses.

It would have been nice if Atari could have answered these questions,
but according to Richard Frick, Atari has nobody who is an expert
at programming the ST (apparently only DRI does), and he was unable
to answer these questions.

                                         Thanks in advance,
                                         Ed Friedman
