If you want to be an ATARI ST developer, buy a development system directly
from ATARI.  I got mine for the cost of the system plus $300 for the
development package (C compiler, linker, assembler, resource editor, kermit
(for file transfer), lots of documentation.)  

I don't know why you say say that getting development software is less than
straight-forward...  All I had to do was send a check.

I use kermit for file transfer (it's more reliable than standard file
transfer anyway....)
