Hi Ben,<br><br>Thanks for that. I had already found the information from seasip - I was wondering if there was any more 'official' type of documentation - particularly for the ST. As part of my research I came across <a href="http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=995">this</a> and <a href="http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=1000">this</a> - excellent insight into the development process but it makes me wonder how different the 'standard' GEM API was between the two classes of machines. That site is excellent by the way - especially if you are interested in what was happening behind the scenes with the developers.<br>

<div></div>Hi all,<br><br>I'm trying to build a definitive list of all VDI and
AES functions (and escapes) across the two main versions of GEM (Atari and
PC). Ideally this would include information about platform specific functions
and what versions introduced or modified functions. I currently have a
collection of information from various sites (the result of a set of google
searches). Are there any reference books or other documentation (released by
DR, Atari or others) that I should be looking
for?<br><br>Thanks,<br>ShaneG<br><br></div></div></blockquote></div>
