though john's suggestion is (probably) legal (i think i've seen these sorts
of programs for the PC), the general idea is for atari to freely distribute
the code to either 1) developers for a small fee, 2) all for a small fee.
what is the big problem? everyone with an ST HAS the code on very accessible
ROMs.
