   What a silly question... are you from Milwaukee, or what?  Neil was 
very adamant about there *not* being a fee to register as a developer.
So, I assume that one merely has to say to Cindy Clavern "Hi, Cindy;
I'm an Atari ST Developer!  Can I please register as such and get a copy
of GDOS?"  And that's all there should be to it.  After all, you don't
think Atari would actually *discourage* people from developing nifty
software which would help sell their machines just because they didn't
buy a particular C compiler, do you?  Naw, I didn't think so.
