And then someone would patch it, and someone would patch the patches,
and then who would know what we end up with? Yes, I can deal with this
kind of stuff, but Atari has the view that Joe Average ST user just

version of TOS he has on disk. You may not agree, but complaining here
probably won't do any good.
