Hi, I just bought the ST and I need some help.

First, where can I get some documentation on GEMDOS.
This seems to be very critical if you want to use the
power and capabilities of the ST.  I saw this question
posted earlier to the net but I saw no response.

Second, someone asked a while back if "scanf" was
left out of HIPPO-C (Habba).  I would like to find
out if this is true for the current versions being
sold.  I bought it with my ST but I have to return
it because I get a bad disk.  I plan to program in
C and I would like to be able to use all of its
capabilites (plus the GEM functions).

Please, if questions like these are posted, please
post the answer to the net also.  There have been
many good questions posted but I have seen very few
(or no) answers.

You can flame me if you want because I am asking for
responses on the net but it is better than constantly
seeing "DRI agrees to change GEM" articles.  I want to
see more relevant information about ST being exchanged.
