                           The Atari A to Z
                           by Mark S Baines

Jargon, terminology and acronyms are the staple diet of any
professional, technologist and hobbyist. The world of computing is no
exception and to the uninitiated home or small business user,
magazines, manuals and books can be very daunting. Written by someone
who understands these frustrations and needs, The Atari A to Z is an
encyclopaedia of modern computer terminology specifically pertaining
to Atari computers.

Whether you play games on an ST, run your business on a TT or write
music on a Falcon, this book is aimed at helping you get to grips with
magazines and books that are more perplexing than enlightening. In it,
you will find definitions, explanations, mini-articles, tables and
lists to help you gain a better understanding of your Atari computer.
The material in this book was written with all Atari users in mind.
There are simple definitions for the uninitiated and technical data
for the experienced. You take what you want, when you want it.


The Book
The Atari A to Z is produced in A5 format, 340 pages long and
contained in a quality ring folder for convenience. It contains 2,238
entries, 101 tables and 128,000 words. There are five appendices -
Addresses, Book List, Connectors, Extensions, Atari ASCII set, ANSI
Character Set.

Firstly, this is a comprehensive general computing dictionary, there
being entries for all the common terms and acronyms found in modern
day computing. Like any computer user, Atari users require help with
terms not specific to their particular machine. They should be able to
find what they want here.

Secondly, there are entries of Atari-related terms and acronyms which
cover all the Atari computers and consoles. There are expanded
explanations and essays, tables and lists which together form a
comprehensive inventory of material that The Atari Compendium left out
and not found elsewhere. The table of System Variables is more
accurate than that in The Atari Compendium. There is a list of
Exception Vectors, Atari Cookies and their meanings, Memory Maps for
all Atari computers (and more accurate than that in The Atari
Compendium), a full Breakdown of the DESKTOP.INF and NEWDESK.INF files
(not found in ANY other publication), Errors Messages and Bombs, Pin
Connections of all the ports on all the machines, Technical
Specifications of the whole Atari range, a Breakdown of the TOS
Versions and the differences between them, an explanation of GDOS,
MultiTOS, the VT52 emulator and codes, all the main chips, viruses, a
light-hearted look at computer laws, a list of common file extenders
and their meanings, a list of contact addresses, a bibliography...
this is just a little taster of some of the important aspects of this
book. The Atari A to Z is thorough!
