Everything I've ever seen from Abacus assumes you have a monotasking
machine with fixed ROMs.  Can you say C64 mentality?

>reset proof subroutines, direct access to the hardware

I'm not surprised.  What worries me is that people use this info (which
may be mostly right in the current release, but will be mostly wrong in
the future).

Reading Abacus books is like reading horoscopes and biorythms.
They're interesting and to some people they're gospel but I think they
should be treated as entertainment and nothing more.

Sounds like you agree with me.
