THAT would just be too logical for Atari to take up.
And what's this I hear about NO SOURCE COMPATABILITY WITH UNIX on
the ABAQ??  If the machine's so hot, it should have a superset of
the standard unix function library.  Without "instant" systems that
are upgradeable, atari will not win customers.  Nowadays, people 
expect a machine to come with software, especially $2000+ systems.
