Did I hear you say that?  Is it _illegal_ to have TOS on disk?

Does indeed seem kinda' strange to me, that Atari would like to
stop the spreading of their own TOS.  If so, why making a disk
version in the first place??
Or is it just pure greed?

And don't tell me it's because of the incorrect versions of TOS that
would be spread with disks.  It couldn't be easier to correct: Send out
an Atari authorized copy of 1.4.  Most users would like to have it in
ROMs anyhow, sooner or later.

Can we have a comment on this?
