	My best information indicates:

	Commodore signed a deal with Bantam books giving them exclusive
perpetual rights to publish the AmigaDOS documentation.  No one seems to
know exactly why this was done.  I don't know who at Commodore agreed to
this.  I'm pretty sure he hasn't been caught yet.

	That means that not even Commodore can print DOS autodocs in the Rom
Kernel Manual.
