 If CBM start to say that they can remove old function its not what I
 think a 'good' move.What function will be next.
 I already said the OldOpenLibrary should have never existed, but
 now its there...
 I will beleive it when CBM start doing it.

 I never said exec or other are not in ASM, but I still beleive that
 most of the OS in from C.
 (Exec is the best part I have seen, and it would be good if the entire
 ROM was done this way.)

 I'm simply against removale of library function, for any reason.
 Something acceptable would be to leave the function but make then
 return FAIL code or 'do nothing'.
 Like making OldOpenLibrary alway return 'FALSE' (Bad example since
 there is no point doing it.).

 I have used the SGI graphics library (Very little, and very similare
 the the amiga :-) and from what I know all machine since the 4D
 series started there are all binary compatible... But might change from
 a MAJOR architecture desing change (Like for CBM).
