I want to keep this short and sweet:

    1.  I think it's time we stopped comparing the ST and the Amiga and
        get down to business.  Both are nice machines, and this 'which is
	better' discussion is tiresome.  I feel sorry for those in this
	newsgroups who have 400/800 machines and have to wade through all
	of this.

    2.  I will post the source of my program to make a bootable DS/DD disk
	for the ST as soon as I can upload it and provide minimal docs.

    3.  The TOS system calls are similar to the MS-DOS version 2.x calls.
	If you have Hippo C and don't understand their terse docs, MS-DOS
	documentation could fill in the blanks until ST internal docs can
	be had.  The developer's license agreement keeps us mum on this.

    4.  The developer's package has Kermit, but I don't know if is a public
	domain implementation.

Too much talk already.  Randy.
