Hi y'all, long time no see.  The Atari ST port of OSK from Cumana- Reccoware is
gettin' up to speed.  Wolfgang Ocker at Reccoware sent me a diskette w/ new
STHD driver and VTD.  What in the world is VTD? I've looke everywhere in the
doc'n Cumana sent me and there's nothing about it.  Plus Wolfgang included a
German 'readme' for the newer STHD driver which I can't comprehend.  Oh well.

What really brings me here is that a few people on the CoCo listserver
suggested I contact Kevin Darling (again :) and possibly try talking him into,
somehow, helping to get his K-W going for the Atari.  I'm rather desparate now.
I don't know if there's an Atari port of G-W either (still, despite my
botherin' y'all once in a while to rehash the subject!).

Here's the rub:  Wolfgang sent me a letter giving prices of the MGR software &
application libs for the Atari monchrome-mode only. Uh you may want to sit
down: it's DM 550 for the run-time and DM 850 for the libs.  So I can develop
my things, I am thinking MGR would be more 'popular' everywhere rather than K
or G.  With Reccoware's 10% discount (by buying both MGR pkgs together), I'd
still be shelling out close to US$ 790 minimum (not including postage, taxes,
etc.).  Yes that's seven-hundered-and-ninety bucks there.

So I'm back to square one:  Where do I now go for info on K & G for Atari ST
OSK, please?
