Since I wrote and posted it, I guess it's only fair that I be the bearer of bug
news.  There's something wrong with either Sounder or ATM (my money is on the
latter) that causes UNRECOVERABLE-type errors--I found one when trying to set
the point size in Winword with ATM loaded and running.  The strange thing is
I had sounder in my load= line, but after that it should have went bye-bye.
Heapwalker doesn't show any traces of DSOUND (the .DLL Sounder uses), but I'd
still bet that something bad is happening when the DLL is finally kicked out.
Oh, well...

I also noticed that Legacy dies when ATM is loaded--it can't even get a window
up before UNRECOVERABLE...  appears.

Other than that, ATM looks quite good.  The speed is certainly acceptable, the
quality (on my 9-pin Epson) passable, and the screen fonts (with a one-pixel
exception in the 'e' for 12-point Times on a Herc) are quite good.
