What about the STE, Derek?  There was no mention of that.  I was just
wondering if you'll be trying to put the new desktop in there?
It's got a 256K ROM with about 30K spare, as far as I know.
That sounds about enough space, doesn't it!!!

I suppose that with this new policy of Atari's, if you're busy coding up
the new STE desktop, you won't be able to let us know 'til it's finish and
shipping. Right?  :-)

Keeping my fingers crossed...

Dougie.
