As well put it in the public domain. Since it is only useful to people with Ataris and major bug fixing like this should have been done from the start, I see no reason not to let people burn their own roms to fix the operating system. If its left to Atari, we won't see this for at least 1 year!! I'm not even asking for the source - just a romable executable file that can be distributed on usenet/bitnet/atarinet etc. Is support like this too much to ask, or does Atari see $$$ in new rom sales and/or developer registrations for this? /Leonard
