  This is incorrect.  In a recient message on GEnie, someone from
Atari mentioned that FOLDRXXX -will- work correctly because the person
who wrote it included a special hook in the program that will identify
new versions of the ROMs.  It will then go into the ROM and find a
special table put-there-by-Atari(!) just so that FOLDRXXX -will- be
able to run on the newer systems...
