Beta 5????
the version command gives 36.141 and 36.68
If this is Beta when will the REAL stuff come out?
I've been promised my own machine in mid August and I sure
hope I'll not get a Beta version, 'cause It'll take time and
money to get the final version.

Sorry if I didn't express myself clearly but I want a utility that
works AFTER a boot so I can load those programs which have those
crazy copy/protections that uses selfmodifying code.

I've called Commodore Sweden to get papers to registrate as a
certified developer , so that one is solved.

Well I've heard that the UNIX package would include hardware
to restrain illegal copying. And then 512 kB ROM wouldn't be
such a bad copyprotection. ( this one is from my dealer )
