Let's hope it will be `Real soon now' in the way Atari usually announces
new products. ;-)
I'm not against improvements, but 1.6 - as it is circulating - as reputed
to be a mess. I hope Andy will refrain from releasing it officially.
This also because any us non-IBMmers are struggling to keep his pace,
since most of his changes won't apply to our Minices.
The ST fs & mm are at most _comparable_, and the kernel defeats comparison.
It also simply needs cleaning up. When that's done, new extensions/improvements
will be easyer to keep portable.
