I replied to Allan's message about the bug fixes, suggesting that the patches
be posted here (since he expects them to be only 32K).  No response.  So now
I'm posting my comments...

I am a "registered developer" (ie, I bought the developer's kit) even though 
I don't produce any products, but I haven't heard anything that suggests I'll 
get a set of ROMs, even if I do have to buy them.  I didn't receive an offer 
to acquire or purchase GDOS either, even though it exists (it comes with 
certain software packages).

You know, the Atari ST series of machines are quite amazing devices...Too
bad Atari doesn't seem to see it that way.  They keep leaving out key
ingredients that would give the machines a decent chance of taking off...
Like GDOS...and a write signal on the cartridge port...and support...
