	I wasn't aware that 2.0 was already set in ROM.  Commodore should not
  have a misfeature (read "BUG") like this pass into the final version of 2.0.
  Disney is a significant corporate entity, and their backing will make the
  Amiga more widely noticed, but what will happen when users find that the
  program won't run on Commodore's new operating system?  We shouldn't have
  to wait for 2.1 to get what we expect out of 2.0.


  A patch is better than none, but only if its absolutely necessary!!

   Calling a bug a 'misfeature' is like calling a
	nut a 'hexagonal rotational surface compression unit'.
