ATM is a language consisting of all strings <M, w> such that M *accepts* 
w. His diagonalization proof shows that ATM is not a decidable language. 
It follows as a straightforward corollary that halting is undecidable, 
but whether ATM is decidable and whether halting is decidable are two 
separate (though related) problems.
